Damned If She Does

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“As revelatory as it is prophetic, Sarah Stankorb's Damned If She Does is a brilliant, readable journey into the lives of women who are the canaries in the coal mine of American Christianity: the taken-for-granted Sunday school teachers, potluck organizers, rally goers, and model mothers who are no longer willing to stay in institutions that devalue them and so many others.... Stankorb is the rare journalist who does two things at once--forces us to stare at the uncomfortable places we'd rather not see while somehow humanizing them into sources of understanding, insight, and activation.”

Disciples of White Jesus

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“A much-needed interjection into one of the most vexing and troubling components of modern America--white Christian masculinity. Denker has a journalist's touch, a theologian's eyes, and a pastor's heart. She brings us into the sites, the currents, and the media where young white Christian men are taught to be masculine and analyzes them with unflinching honesty and truth-telling. Denker's analysis of masculinity leads to examinations of race, love, and other touchstones of modern identity. The result is a book that will be a salvo for many parents, pastors, and anyone else worried about the fate of young Christian men in America--and the people around them. This book explains the mechanisms of toxic American masculinity and provides hope for developing a different model”

“Every once in a while a book comes along that changes not only its field, but how many of us understand the past and future of the United States. This is one of those books.”
