Straightforward and amusing, Hear No Evil is Turners "life soundtrack," a compilation of engaging personal stories about how musicand musics ability to transformhas played a key role in his spiritual life.
Groove along on his journey as young evangelical Turner attends forbidden contemporary Christian concerts, moves to "Music City" Nashville, and dreams of becoming the Michael Jackson of Christian music.
Cosmic and compelling, keen and funny, every page is a new encounter with the 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.

▼▲The most glorious part about Hear No Evil is Matthew Paul Turners humor and authenticity. Brilliantly affective, this collection of stories about music--its triumphs, its dysfunction, and its value in peoples lives--will conjure up memories about your own musical journey and experiences. Matthew's funny and sometimes irreverent tone reveals not only his social relevance but also his sincerity. Josh Shipp, host of Jump Shipp, author of The Teens Guide to World Domination, MTV personality
Theres an adage: Never make fun of a group of which you are not a member. Matthew Paul Turner grew up in the fundamentalist bubble and worked in the Christian Contemporary Music scene. And make fun of them he does however, not with outsider venom but with insider empathy. Hear No Evil is hilarious, cringe-worthy, and all too true. And Turner's faith survived. Halleluiah. Thats what humor can do. Susan E. Isaacs, actress, comedienne, and author of Angry Conversations with God
Hear No Evil is a compelling story that will send you on a journey where youre laughing one second and doing a painfully honest heart check the next. When you finish this book youll have a new understanding that God works in very unique and surprising ways as He draws us closer to Him. Pete Wilson, pastor of Cross Point Church, author of Plan B
Anyone who grew up in the evangelical bubble will relive their own adolescence through Turners witty, devastatingly forthright account of his own. Couching his unsparing observation in self-effacing mirth, he drags the superstition and cultural backwardness of the good ole Christian subculture right out into the open. Even if youve had bad experiences with exorcisms in the past, Hear No Evil is the last one youll ever need. David Sessions, founding editor of Patrol magazine
In Hear No Evil, Matthew Paul Turner writes The odd thing about Christians pursuing fame is that they do it while pretending not to be interested in fame. I would buy this book even if this was the only sentence printed inside. Its that valuable. Jonathan Acuff , creator of StuffChristiansLike.net and author of the book Stuff Christians Like
