And lived to tell about it. In this first-hand account, author Matthew Paul Turner shares amusing-sometimes cringe-worthy-and poignant stories about growing up in a fundamentalist household, where even well-intentioned contemporary Christian music was proclaimed to be \"of the devil.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChurched is a collection of stories that detail an American boy's experiences growing up in a culture where men weren't allowed 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. Matthew grapples with the absurdity of a Sunday School Barbie burning, the passionate annual boxing match between the pastor and Satan, and the holiness of being baptized a fifth time-while growing into a young man who, amidst the chaotic mess of religion, falls in love with Jesus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"DINE ALONE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47104805011696,"sku":"2940170110971","price":12.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170110971_p0.jpg?v=1763702269","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170110971","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
