Taking Off the Tinfoil Hat
Book in Progress
When I "deconstructed" from White Christian Nationalism, I did not have the language to describe it.
I did not know there were resources or others like me.
I needed information.
I had to reapproach history, theology, politics, psychology, and philosophy. I had to reframe evangelical issues like
Hell, feminism, LGBTQ+ affirmation, and purity culture. I needed to dig out what had been a lie and rebuild an entire worldview from the ground up.
These are the tools I found. They helped me immensely, and I hope they can help you.
Please support these authors however you can.
For the budget conscious, though, I recommend buying used copies from websites like ThriftBooks.com
or even Amazon.
Hoopla also offers most of these titles as free audiobooks or ebooks, just connect your library card!
