About Me

MPT grew up in rural Maryland with his parents, three sisters, a beagle, and 107 laying hens. Matthew’s early years were defined by his family’s involvement in a conservative church where beauty and redemption were overshadowed by rules and judgment. He eventually landed in Nashville, at Belmont University. At Belmont, he received a BBA in Music Business, but almost immediately after college moved back to Maryland to live with his parents for 18 months [and had a job stuffing various items into envelopes, and realized his love of stamping]. Matthew worked for CCM Magazine for two-and-a-half years before leaving to pursue writing as a fulltime career. His first book, The Christian Culture Survival Guide, received a good amount of media attention, including USA Today and The Washington Times. In all, Matthew has written or contributed to more than fifteen books in the short span of four years. His thoughts, ideas, and humor about life, Christianity, and other topics such as politics, sex, and even money have opened up many opportunities for him to speak at colleges and other venues. In 2008 he will release his first hardback "Jesus Needs New PR."

Did you know that right now 6 and 7 year olds are being sold into sexual slavery in countries like India and China?
