LIFE AND STUFF

By February 25, 2007Blog

Wow. This past week has been a bit crazy. Not Britney crazy, now; my wife hasn’t shaved her head and I haven’t begun to try and hide my male-patterned baldness with the help of a wig, but it’s been crazy nonetheless.

Good news. I have officially handed in the manuscript for the book Jesus Needs New PR. Like I’ve said many times before, I am so eager for this book to release. If you attend any of my gigs with Bethany Dillon and Future of Forestry, you’ll hear a small part of the book read from stage toward the end of my portion of the show. I am very pleased with where this book ended up; I’m still hoping to change the conclusion a bit–I hate writing conclusions–but all in all, I couldn’t be happier with how it has turned out. My editor and I will begin working on it together this week.

Also, the second two books in the What You Didn’t Learn From Your Parents series–Money and Politics–are now available! In fact here’s a little snippet from the Politics book:


IS GEORGE W. BUSH A MODERN DAY MOSES?

[Check out these comparisons, and then decide!]

Number One:

MOSES: Met his wife while attending to his sheep.
BUSH: Met his wife while attending to his cattle.

Number Two:
MOSES: Received Ten Commandments on a mountain.
BUSH: Really enjoys hiking in the mountains.

Number Three:
MOSES’ motto: “I carry a staff; so, God is with me.”
BUSH’S motto: “God is on my staff; he sits next to Condoleezza.”

Number Four:
MOSES: Turned Red Sea into blood for several days.
BUSH: Allowed New Orleans to remain a lake for several days.

Number Five:
MOSES: Led people out of Egypt
BUSH: Led people into Iraq

Number Six:
MOSES: Heard God speak from a bush.
BUSH: Was born a bush.

Anyway, be checking back for tour updates…

  • Hey Matthew,
    I’m a big fan of yours. Where can I order the politics and money books? I work in a book store and they’re not even available for us to order. I even checked with NavPress and Th1nk books and couldn’t find them. My coworkers and I are really looking forward to reading them!

  • Aw, thanks, Jen! You know, I don’t know what the problem is… you should definitely be able to get them from TH1NK Books… I will look into this… if anything, I can send you the books myself… so let me know!!

  • Jordan says:

    I guess there’s nothing wrong with being liberal.

    So I guess you don’t buy Bush’s claim of being guided by his faith.

  • i don’t believe Jesus told him to go to war if that’s what you mean, but sure, I buy that he believes he’s guided by some kind of faith. Not sure it’s the one Jesus talked about or now.

    MPT,
    it looks like it’s only available for pre-order on amazon.com and we still can’t order it and i couldn’t find it on th1nk books or navpress’ website.
