But I believe she has shed a light on the true heart of the matter. After reading the book, I can see where certain people would believe her to have “lost” her faith. She questions the fundamentals to understand why. Our views of the Bible, God, the economy, “Biblical Worldview”, politics and the World. I feel Evans has truly captured the generation of Christians coming up, 20-30’s. Why does she believe certain things? Why do we hold true to certain verses and generalize others?
