Alas, I do not grok...
Over the last couple of years, I have realized something: I simply do not understand Evangelical Protestantism. Oh, I know the history of Evangelicalism, especially in the United States, but I don't really understand the culture, or even the ethos. They just seem to elude me, and I know that this causes me to have a "disconnect" when interacting with Christians from evangelical churches and backgrounds. I wonder about the underlying concerns, ideas, and concepts that drive evangelical folks. Does this make sense, or am I too vague?
Besides Randall Balmer's Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory (I just ordered it), are there any books y'all can recommend that might help? Or perhaps a website? Maybe some personal experiences? Thanks so much for anything that might "connect the dots" for this cradle Catholic! :-)

No, I have a hard time understanding it, too . . . and I come from an Evangelical Protestant background!
Try stuffchristianslike.net. It's a satire of the Evangelical culture (written by an Evangelical).
