Blog Tour: Hear No Evil

Hear No Evil is the newest book written by Matthew Paul Turner. I throughly enjoyed this book. I even laughed out loud at times. This brought back so many memories for me of what it was like growing up in my family. I was also raised as an "Independent Fundamentalist Baptist" as was the author of this book, however, my experience wasn't quite as extreme. I do remember thinking that everyone else in the world was not a "real" Christian and only the people in my own church would be going to heaven. Thankfully, I've learned different. Even if you didn't grow up in such a strict household, I still think you may find it amusing to read about the world through the author's eyes.

Summary:

A collection of wise, compelling, and often uproariously funny essays built around the experience of music as a transformational element in a moment of truth, Hear No Evil mines Matthew Paul Turner’s humorous memories of his evangelical youth and invites readers to groove along on his journey.

From attending forbidden contemporary Christian concerts to moving to “Music City” Nashville, Hear No Evil chronicles Turner’s “life soundtrack” which morphs seamlessly into the stories of people, places, and experiences that have taught the music-editor-turned-author some new things about God, forced him out of his comfort zone, and introduced him to a fresh view of grace along the way.

If you’ve ever had the opening bars of a song transport you back in time or remind you of a pivotal spiritual moment, Matthew Paul Turner’s honest—and frequently hilarious—musings will strike a chord. Straight forward and amusing, Hear No Evil is an exploration of a life of faith lived to a personal soundtrack.
