Rev. Terry Matthews' 'Problems?' Offers A Fresh Perspective On Self-Help At L.A. Times Book Festival

The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, a beacon for literary enthusiasts, is set to showcase a myriad of publications aimed at fostering motivation, inspiration, and self-acceptance. Amidst the sea of self-help literature, one book stands out for its unique perspective on tackling life's challenges. Authored by Rev. Terry Matthews of Crown of Life Ministries, "Problems?" delves into the often overlooked issues plaguing individuals and offers a candid look at the denial surrounding them.

Set against the backdrop of the vibrant book festival scheduled for April 20-21, 2024, at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, "Problems?" emerges as a distinct voice. Rev. Matthews' work is a departure from the conventional self-help narrative, focusing instead on confronting excuses and the blame game that many play—pointing fingers at everything from upbringing to cultural influences without taking personal responsibility.

Rev. Terry Matthews, with a rich background as the Pastor and founder of Crown of Life Ministries in Bakersfield, California since 1991, brings to the table his profound experiences and insights. Born during the tumultuous times of the civil rights movement and having served in the U.S. Army, Matthews' journey is one of resilience and faith. His engagement with prison ministries across California further enriches his understanding of human struggles and redemption.

"Like your morning coffee, trouble is always brewing and only God can offer you the protection you need in such unexpected, and turbulent times," states Rev. Matthews. This quote encapsulates the essence of "Problems?"—acknowledging life's inevitable challenges while highlighting the solace and solutions faith in God provides.

For those intrigued by Rev. Matthews' approach to life's difficulties and his reliance on divine guidance, "Problems?" is available for purchase on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The book was published on August 1, 2019, by Xulon Press and falls within the Christian genre. Attendees of the L.A. Times Festival of Books can also explore this compelling work at ReadersMagnet's exhibit at booth 225.

Rev. Terry Matthews' journey from Flint, Michigan to founding Crown of Life Ministries in California is not just a testament to his faith but also to his commitment to serving others through ministry and literature.
