Churched: One Kid's Journey Toward God Despite a Holy Mess
He spent his childhood trapped within the confines of countless bizarre, strict rules. And lived to tell about it.
In this first-hand account, author Matthew Paul Turner shares amusingâsometimes cringe-worthyâand poignant stories about growing up in a fundamentalist household, where even well-intentioned contemporary Christian music was proclaimed to be âof the devil.â
churched is a collection of stories that detail an American boyâs experiences growing up in a culture where men werenât allowed let their hair grow to touch their ears (âan abomination!â), women wouldnât have been caught dead in a pair of pants (unless swimming), and the pastor couldnât preach a sermon without a healthy dose of hellfire and brimstone. Matthew grapples with the absurdity of a Sunday School Barbie burning, the passionate annual boxing match between the pastor and Satan, and the holiness of being baptized a fifth timeâwhile growing into a young man who, amidst the chaotic mess of religion, falls in love with Jesus.
From the Hardcover edition.
