Why I Left the Evangelical Church

Are you surprised by Trump's success with the evangelical Church? Do you have family members obsessed with him? Are you weary of the direction the Christian Church is taking in our society? Do you have doubts about your faith? Jose Medina was a devout Evangelical Christian for more than three decades. Shortly after arriving to pursue graduate studies in the United States, Jose became an Evangelical. This book is a personal account of his experiences as a member of the Southern Baptist church. He lived an unassuming church life until the appearance of Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential elections. Evangelicals' unconditional support for Trump, a man representing everything his Church stood against, pushed Jose to deconstruct his Christian beliefs. After not getting satisfactory answers from men and books he trusted, including the Bible, he left his friends, the Church, and the Christian faith. Writing this book was Jose's most challenging spiritual journey, but it provided him with a path forward free of mystical dogmas. If you are on the edge of what Christianity is about, this book will give you some first-hand insights into how to deal with it.
