Pure: Inside the Evangelical Movement That Shamed a Generation of Young Women and How I Broke Free by Linda Kay Klein

Moderate: Body shaming, Emotional abuse, Misogyny, Panic attacks/disorders, and Rape
Minor: Sexual assault, Transphobia, and Gaslighting
This is a wonderful book for anyone who grew up presenting as a woman in evangelical purity culture, especially those trying to deconstruct the harmful messages it imparts. However, if sexual trauma and religious trauma are very entwined for someone, I would recommend waiting to read this or at least working through it with a friend or therapist who can help process the related trauma.
