I wrote the book that I, an exvangelical, would've most wanted someone to hand me. Since I knew there's a ton of us, I knew it'd resonate with a large portion of the people it found due to its relentless authenticity and ultimately hopeful direction. That's not to say everybody from that demographic will or would like it, but I did my best.
The fun surprise, which I'd also hoped for, has been how many people who grew up NOTHING like me have nevertheless found it relatable, entertaining, understandable, and worthwhile.
