Thanks so much for this list, Kristin. I've been reading Russell Moore's new book "Losing Our Religion" which, for me, has been so enlightening in my own journey away from SBC. Appreciate you so much!
Almost added Moore's book and Shannon Harris's The Woman They Wanted, but I thought I might do a separate post on memoir--there are another 3 or 4 I'd want to add that have come out or will be out soon, and I thought this post was already getting too long!
Thank you for such a thoughtful post. I have recently devoured Jon Ward’s Testimony: Inside the Evangelical Movement That Failed A Generation. Highly recommend for anyone who is also deconstructing the evangelical culture from true gospel faith. I learned so much from his honest and nuanced writing ! It was your book that started me on this journey btw 😊
Yes, thinking about writing a post about all of the memoirs coming out--Russell Moore, Jon Ward, Sarah McCammon, Cait West, Shannon Harris, Beth Moore...and a couple more I'm forgetting!
I RECOMMEND AN OLDER BOOK. THE SILENT CRY BY DOROTHEE SOELLE. IT IS THE BEST CHALLENGING AND READABLE BOOK I HAVE READ IN 20 PLUS YEARS. A MASTERPIECE COVERING MYSTICISM IN THE REAL WORLD. TED JOHNSTONE
Thanks for an outstanding and interesting list of important books to read. It does though add to the challenge of living: my to read pile grows higher! I look forward to your post on memoirs. I’m writing my memoir, and I’m always interested in reading other good memoirs!
