the salvation chronicles: days in the life of a fanatical christian teenager
a serial memoir of evangelical fundamentalism and romantic crises
“could i feel the holy spirit working inside me? at 12, i was instructed to analyze this question, and i knew the salvation of my soul depended on the answer.”
(salvation chronicles 1)
welcome! the salvation chronicles is a memoir i am releasing here in serial form. this writing draws on material i have been developing for years as i have struggled to understand a traumatic fundamentalist past. only recently have i seen that past clearly enough to finally finish this writing and release the experience to the world.
the prologue, “my middle school memoir,” is pay-walled but not essential for understanding the story. after reading part one (a free post), consider a paid subscription to read upcoming posts in this series.
the first scene in each post will always be free.
20% of all revenue i raise per month after fees will go to the LGBTQ fund of the Grand Rapids Community Foundation, an organization in my community. 💖
