Celebrate Lit Tour: Wonderful Yah: The Unveiling - Author Interview

Author Interview:

Will you tell us a little about yourself?

I am 60 years old, and I was born in Flint, Michigan. My father worked for General Motors, and my mother stayed home and took care of the children. I have five sisters and two brothers. I attended parochial school from grades 1-12. After graduating from Powers Catholic High School, I joined the United States Air Force, I was fascinated with aviation and airplanes. However, while serving in the military, I was injured; after five years in the Air Force, I was honorably discharged with a service-connected disability. While serving in the U.S. Military, I recommitted my life to Jesus Christ and was baptized as an adult.

One year after leaving the Air Force, I applied and was accepted at Oral Roberts University. It took me seven years to complete my undergraduate degree (1983-1988); I had to work five of the seven years to support myself. During the last two years, the Veterans Administration helped me with some financial assistance, so I didn't have to work while going to school. I did well with my grades when the Veterans Administration was helping me, so they also helped me with financial assistance for my graduate education. After graduating with honors (magna cum laude) from Oral Robert's University in 1988 with a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work, I applied and was accepted at the University of Michigan's Advanced Standing Program where I completed my Master's Degree in clinical social work in one year. After graduating from the University of Michigan in 1990, I worked in Michigan for 25 years helping the poor, homeless, and mentally ill.

What is your latest book about?

I explain and solve two of the greatest mysteries in the Bible: the mystery of the Godhead and the mystery of God's will. For the past two thousand years, Christians have struggled to understand who Jesus is and the mystery of the Godhead; that is, who the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are. In my book, I take the knowledge from both the Old and New Testaments about God and break this knowledge down into one sentence that explains who Jesus is and solves the mystery of the Godhead. I also explain the mystery of God's will, our will, and how they collaborate. Solving these two mysteries has never been done before in such a concise and self-evident way. Although there are parts of the book that are technical, which is needful to explain these two complex mysteries, there are plenty of non-technical parts that also explain God's love for us, what is our value to God, why did God put us on planet earth, and what is the most important thing we should be learning.

Did you have to do a lot of research for the book? If so, what was the most interesting thing you learned?

The research acquired for this book is the accumulation of things I have learned about Jesus Christ over the past four decades of my life. I have taken the knowledge I have gained over these four decades and used that knowledge to solve some of the greatest mysteries in the Bible. The most interesting thing I learned is that it is so much more enjoyable writing from what is in your heart. For me, writing from the heart is so much more important and enjoyable than trying to write from your head.

Do you have a favorite song and/or movie?

This may sound bias, but my favorite song might be a song I wrote. I am not a musician, but I wrote a song to support my latest book. I acquired the help of a musician, who has a Ph.D. in music composition, help me score the music professionally. I have not had the music recorded yet, but maybe someday someone will want to sing and record the song professionally. The name of the song is Wonderful YaH; the name of my latest book is Wonderful YaH: The Unveiling.

Thank you so much for being here! Is there anything else you’d like to tell readers and where can we find you on the web?

Yes, I am currently working on developing a few social media platforms where people can learn a little more about me and interact with me. Currently, my business Facebook page is probably the best way to contact and interact with me at this time.

About the Book

Book: Wonderful Yah: The Unveiling
Author: Matthew Marx
Genre: Non-Fiction, Christian, Theology
Release Date: July 22, 2019

What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, if you know?

This intriguing question from the book of Proverbs seems to echo the question in so many of our hearts: Who is God really? Over the past two millennia, people have tried to understand the mystery of the divinity of God using logic and thinking, but it fails every time. The Godhead does not operate or function as people do, and God is not subject to human reasoning. Yet understanding the mystery of the Godhead is both simple and profound when we know how to use the key Jesus gave us.

This book begins by accepting the challenge of some of the most thought-provoking Scriptures in the entire Bible—Proverbs 30:2–4. Throughout the book’s exploration of the divinity of God, a power hidden within God’s Hebrew name is discovered and then unleashed to answer the question, What is His name, and what is the name of His Son? The mystery of the Godhead is then subdued as God’s Hebrew name erupts as the correct foundation on which to discuss the relationship between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Scriptural doors that once seemed impenetrable now open easily with a turn of a key, helping you to connect with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in a deeper, more focused way.

More from Matthew

Wow! Who would have known? Normally, non-fiction books like Wonderful YaH: The Unveiling primarily focus on: what is the problem and how to fix it. However, wouldn’t it be intriguing if a non-fiction book incorporated some elements of a fiction book such as mystery, suspense, and drama, with the reader bring the drama as they deal with their internal dialogue on how to answer a proposed question to help solve the mystery. Be aware, however, that this type of adventure and journey is not for the timid or light of heart. Taking fiction elements such as mystery, suspense, and drama and placing them in a non-fiction book could produce a real-world reality shift that is different from what the reader has known or experienced—Wonderful YaH: The Unveiling is one such book. Come and join me on a non-fiction journey and adventure that incorporates some elements of fiction that explore, explain, and solve two of the greatest mysteries of the Bible. The two great mysteries to which I refer are (1) the divinity of Jesus Christ in the Godhead, and (2) how our lives and the choices we make fit into God’s will and divine providence. Many smart and wise people, over the past two thousand years, have tried to explain and solve these two mysteries but have fallen short typically. Wonderful YaH: The Unveiling fills the gaps left by previous attempts to solve these two great mysteries by discovering the hidden power in God’s Hebrew name, then harnessing that power to solve the mysteries. You might ask, “What is the point of being able to solve these two great mysteries, and what does it have to do with me”? The point is to know the One who created everything and to figure out how our lives fit into His grand scheme of everything. More simply stated, what is our purpose for being on planet earth? Surely, there is more to life than just being born, living for a few decades if you are fortunate, then dying. Isn’t it worth asking: Is our life more than just a blade of grass that is here today then gone tomorrow? If there were an answer to this mystery, wouldn’t it be nice to find the answer to this mystery before we die? People often read fiction for the adventure of mystery and suspense. Why not read a non-fiction book that offers mystery and suspense but with real-life consequences?
