Description

No one sets out to join a cult. No one except for Kassandra. She knows Renewal, the Seattle megachurch led by Pastor Keith Wright, had something to do with her sister, Maria's, suicide. Kassandra is determined to prove it, all while exposing the church's racist, misogynistic, and exploitative underbelly. But when Kassandra infiltrates Renewal, the last thing she expects to find are good people-especially not a cinnamon roll like Matt Lyons. Kassandra plans to use his attraction to her to help her gain access to the church's inner workings; she doesn't count on falling for him in the process. Kassandra knows she has to choose, her mission or the guy, because she can't have both. Right? Examining the positive and negative of Christianity in today's sociopolitical climate with humor and care, MANLY MAN OF GOD asks readers to think about community, faith, and grief, all while cheering on its heroine as she tries to avenge her sister's death and find what she's lost: family. strong female protagonist, cult-like megachurch, megachurch satire, revenge plot, dark comedy, deconstruction, exvangelical, white evangelical, dark romcom "The romantic thriller set in a megachurch you didn't know you needed.
