“Sweet-hearted, funny, and honest, Churched had me reminiscing about the little boy searching for God that I once was…”

— Dan Merchant , writer/director of Lord, Save Us From Your Followers

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 (“an abomination!”), women wouldn’t have been caught dead in a pair of pants (unless swimming), and the pastor couldn’t preach a sermon without a healthy dose of hellfire and brimstone.

In 1978, when Matthew Paul Turner was five, his family became sold-out members of an independent Baptist church, joining without any firsthand knowledge of Christian fundamentalism, only his parents’ sincere desire to follow God. In Churched , with wit and careful observation, he reveals the tenderness and grace that managed to seep through the cracks and a young man who, amidst the chaotic mess of religion, falls in love with Jesus.

“ Churched is funny, poignant, and surprisingly moving.”

— Sara Miles , author of Take This Bread

“A memoirist who doesn’t take himself or the world too seriously, but still writes profoundly and beautifully, Turner gave me a belly-laugh on almost every page.”

— Lisa Samson , award-winning author of Quaker Summer , Embrace Me and Justice in the Burbs
