Jonathan Grisham takes you on an unflinching journey through the oppressive world of the Independent Fundamental Baptist (IFB) movement. This isn't just a memoir-it's a lifeline. Grisham exposes the emotional manipulation, ideological rigidity, and psychological warfare that define this religious institution.
But this book is more than an exposé; it's a toolkit for resistance. Grisham equips you with the intellectual and emotional resources to question, challenge, and liberate yourself from religious extremism. From the stifling homogeneity of the IFB's curriculum to its damning stance on LGBTQI+ rights, "Growing Up" challenges the IFB's claim to Biblical literalism, offering instead a nuanced understanding of faith that honors individuality and critical thought.
If you're a survivor, an advocate, or someone questioning the IFB movement, this book is your rallying cry. Don't just grow up-break free. Your journey starts here.
