Book Review ~ Hear No Evil by Matthew Turner

What a fun book! It brought back so many memories of when I was a teen and some of my friends who were Baptists weren't allowed to do some of the things he mentioned in this book. They may not have been allowed, but we sure had fun breaking some of the rules! I think it would have been fun to have his job of interviewing some of the Christian artists.

Here's a summary from the book:

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.

I am giving one copy away, and will randomly pick a winner on Saturday Feb 20th. You can purchase this book at Random House, Amazon or any place you purchase your books.
