Recs if you like The Woman They Wanted: Shattering the Illusion of the Good Christian Wife...

Fiction and non-fiction that examines how the Christian cultural hegemony and belief system has been co-opted as a tool of oppression and exploitation throughout history. Speculative works included, so long as the underlying narrative and commentary directly engages with some aspect of religious control as a primary theme. Always open to suggestions! (Please note that this List aims to critique Christianity as a worldwide institution, not to promote hate against individual practitioners)

Memoirs from people who either are or were in religious movements or cults of any kind. This is not anti-religion, and includes memoirs of people still in their religions, and I am ALWAYS looking for more - please offer suggestions.

I’ll exvangelize away here 🧐
A pile of non-fiction and memoirs helpful on the personal journey of deconstruction with all feels as well as critical reflections about (evangelical) fundamentalism, high control religion, Religious Trauma Syndrome (RTS), Purity Culture, etc Deconstruction can be such a lonely journey, so I hope you’ll feel comforted by similar experiences! You’re not alone!

books you might find helpful no matter where you are on your deconstruction path

All the books that Reading Reflecting Reconstructing (RRR) has read over the years with emphasis on making space for questions about God, C/church, culture, faith, and where we fit in all that.
