The Exvangelicals
By Mccammon, Sarah
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NATIONAL BESTSELLER. "An intimate window into the world of American evangelicalism. Fellow exvangelicals will find McCammon's story both startlingly familiar and immensely clarifying, while those looking in from the outside can find no better introduction to the subculture that has shaped the hopes and fears of millions of Americans." -- Kristin Kobes Du Mez, New York Times bestselling author of Jesus and John Wayne. The first definitive book that names the growing social movement of people leaving the church: the exvangelicals. .
