Hear No Evil

Would you like a copy of Hear No Evil by Matthew Paul Turner? Post a comment below for your chance to win a FREE copy!

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.

Just finished reading “Churched” by MPT and I laughed my way through the whole book (probably because I related way too much!) I REALLY want to read “Hear No Evil.”

I have wanted this book since I first became aware of its existence. If you give me the book, I will send you a prayer-scented handkerchief which will heal your warts.

I would love to receive a copy of this book! I’ve wanted to read it since it came out but haven’t gotten a chance. I was a huge fan of CCM music when I was a teen and it was the only music I listened to! It would be great to hear Matthew’s view on it.
