Alisa Harris uses her own personal experience of growing up in an evangelical family, being home schooled and following her family's religious convictions to the point of picketing in front of establishments that went against their grain. She brings to light the change in her belief system as an adult.

Having become involved with politics as a girl, the author shares how she grappled with her faith, her beliefs and where in all of this her heart and mind was. In a very personal, candid way, the author shares the stages she went through in her life, the breakthrough moments that brought her where she is today.

Anybody who was raised in a strong evangelical environment can certainly relate to the many extreme beliefs the author discusses and quite possibly they, too, have found themselves in the midst of questioning those beliefs as they reached adulthood.

I found this book very interesting. As a home school parent, my child attended functions with many kids who could be the author herself. The simple way of life, dress, and hair of her youth described many of the children so much to a "t" that I could probably put a name to it.

It makes me wonder how these children will turn out as adults. Will they find that their very foundation does not suit their life, their political beliefs? Will they be the image of their upbringing? Will they go the complete polar opposite?

It was a pleasure to read "Raised Right: How I Untangled My Faith from Politics". I look forward to Alison Harris' next book!
