In his debut work, Rev. Peter Matthews takes on the current question of male/female relationships and presents innovative solutions to the gender-bashing that troubles the African-American community.

Dr. Frank M. Reid III, Chief Spiritual Officer of the Bethel A.M.E. Church, Baltimore, MD describes Peter Matthews as an “authentic revolutionary voice”. In his foreword, Dr. Reid prophesies that PASSIN’ THE PLATE “should be read by pastors, teachers, business people, community leaders and the brother and sister who are committed to keeping it real.”

Passin' The Plate is a non-fiction series of essays designed to equip, enrich, and empower. Written with style and wit by Rev. Peter E. Matthews, an urban, intellectual man of God with a Hip-Hop point of view, no aspect of American society is left untouched. Politicians, pastors, actors, every woman, every man is examined through the lens of this urban-bred revolutionary.

In his unique voice, Rev. Matthews prays that God would “remind your daughters that love may be freely given but that the ... mantle of respect must be earned”. For the brothers, he pleads, “Lord, we are castrating each other on street corners over craps, and in corner offices over scraps. Lord, please save us from ourselves”. The dialogue is like that!
