Searching for Sunday: Loving, Leaving, and Finding the Church

One woman's progressive look at how to be a liberal democrat and an acceptable modern day Christian at the same time.
My take on this book, the two personalities don't mix well, nor should they, each mindset completely contradicts the other. Most of this book is about demonizing conservative political views and pieces of the Bible she doesn't like while telling readers she's a liberal Christian fighting for gay/trans rights and women's leadership roles in the church.
Her feet are dipped in both worlds, but clearly nothing about her take on theology and the church is actually Biblical, it just comes off as another angry millennial trying to twist things she doesn't like in the Bible to fit the idea of a society she wants. The constant bashing of Christians, I expect from nonreligious people, what disheartens me is Evans constant (books, blog, social media) beratement of the Christian who doesn't think and act like her.
The progressive "Christian" judgement and fist pounding is getting old and tired.

Do you really need to drag politics into this?

maybe its getting just as old as conservative christians berating liberal chiristians? Which has been happening since the birth of the church. Pretty sure that without liberal christians protestantism would not even exist.
I just wrote in my review - one of the things I liked about this book is that she shows much love for the evangelical church and DOESN'T demonize it. I guess this shows that the act of reading reflects ourselves as much as it reflects the views of the author.

It was inevitable that the very confused evangelical zealots would write this sort of thing. Generally it's not worth arguing with them.
