Matthew Paul Turner

Churched details an American boy's experiences growing up in a culture where men weren't allowed 
to let their hair grow to touch their ears, women wouldn't have been caught dead in a pair of pants
and the pastor couldn't 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 terror rapture movies-while growing 
into a young man who, amidst the chaotic mess of religion, falls in  love with Jesus.
