Churched. A painfully slow read




Churched: One Kid's Journey Toward God Despite a Holy Mess is the true story of Matthew Paul Turner and his ups and downs with the fundamentalist church.

Religious memoirs are not usually my favorite to read but I found Turner’s story very relatable. Like him I struggle with much of what the churches say and would rather focus on the bigger story rather than what they think is “Godly”. It was also refreshing to see hints of humor within the story but it was still a painful slow read for me.

I was provided with a free copy of this book by Blogging For Books. I was not required to give a positive opinion.
