Reflections of a Recovered Evangelical
“After living as an evangelical for nearly 40 years, there is a lot of unlearning to do. Daniel Henderson takes you on an expansive two-part journey through “re-wiring” the brain after religion. Learning to give up certainty and judgment of other people as a matter of routine, Henderson shares practical ways in which he has learned to use “non-binary and spectrum-thinking” as an antidote to the evangelical worldview.
Henderson concluded, after reconstructing his faith and belief, that it is “love plus nothing else” that replaces doctrine, dogma and theology.
Part two of the book takes you through the history and current aspirations of white Christian nationalism. As a former Christian school history teacher, Henderson was a Christian nationalist and understands the thought processes and distorted theology. However, he also exposes the global threat this movement poses.
With wit, insight and first-hand experience, Reflections of a Recovered Evangelical will take you through a healing and restoration process.”
Robert Leonard, Journalist
With a 40 year career in education, Daniel Henderson has the grounding of being a life-long mid-westerner, and having traveled extensively. His teaching career in the field of history and religion has given many of his students inspiration and motivation to pursue their own careers in these fields. Dan has traveled to Europe and Central America and all over the United States. He has a passion for history and historic sites. He has published personal stories of his own faith journey, "Confessions of a Recovering Evangelical,” and “Reflections of a Recovered Evangelical.”
In 1966, Daniel went "forward" at a Billy Graham Crusade to give his life to Christ, and 40 years later, in 2005, he walked away from it. Like millions that are now leaving the traditional church behind, Daniel has made that break and has written his own memoir about the experience. He was a Christian School teacher for 2 decades and much of his story centers around the "hot-house" environment of those private institutions. As an educator, speaker, writer and historian, Daniel continues today to encourage others to find their faith, embrace doubt, ask hard questions, and find their own spiritual path.
