A Confronting Christian Testimony About Sin, Salvation, and the Transforming Power of the Gospel
Are you ready to face the uncomfortable truth?
In I Am Not a Good Person, former atheist Matthew Joseph Solem delivers a raw and uncompromising testimony that will challenge believers and skeptics alike. This isn't another feel-good Christian book promising your best life now. This is an honest examination of sin, a clear presentation of the gospel, and a powerful testimony of what it means to be truly born again.
From Darkness to Light: One Man's Journey
Raised in church but never knowing true faith, Solem embraced atheism as a teenager, convinced he was intellectually superior to believers. For years, he lived according to his own moral code, believing himself to be good despite the lies, selfishness, and pride that marked his daily life. But when God began drawing him through His Word, everything changed.
The Hard Truth: Examining Sin Through God's Law
In Part 1, Solem holds nothing back as he examines his life against the Ten Commandments. Through chapters on lying, theft, murder, adultery, and blasphemy, he reveals how deeply sin had corrupted every area of his life.
Addressing Doubts and Objections
Part 2 tackles the questions skeptics and struggling believers ask: What about the good things I've done? What if I don't believe those things are wrong? Isn't God forgiving? What about second chances? Don't all paths lead to heaven? With theological depth and personal insight, Solem addresses these objections head-on, clearing obstacles to faith.
The Gospel: God's Solution to Our Sin Problem
Part 3 presents the good news: Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose again, offering salvation to all who repent and believe. Solem explains what it means to count the cost, how to be saved, and what changes when we become new creations in Christ. This section clearly outlines the path to salvation through faith in Jesus alone.
Living as a New Creation
Part 4 explores life after salvation: crucifying the flesh, spiritual warfare against Satan, and walking in the freedom Christ provides. Solem shares practical insights on repentance, deliverance from demonic oppression, and pursuing holiness -- not through self-effort, but through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Drawing extensively from Scripture, Solem grounds his claims in God's Word. This book doesn't offer easy answers or comfortable Christianity.
