Eureka, Illinois, September 3, 2026, Matthew Kean, an IT professional and long-time church leader, has released a new book, "Is God Selfish and Egotistical?" which delves into the complex question of whether God's central role in creation reflects narcissism or divine design. The book, published by Christian Faith Publishing, explores the tension between God's directive that all things exist for His glory and the potential implications for human identity and purpose.
Kean’s journey through Christian faith has led him to confront profound questions about the nature of God and humanity. As a member of his local church community, Kean serves as an elder, youth leader, and leader in the men’s sexual accountability group, as well as an Outreach Council member. His commitment to his faith and personal spiritual growth has shaped his unique perspective on God’s role in the world. Recognizing his gift for clear communication, Kean felt a divine call to guide others through life’s most significant questions.
"Is God Selfish and Egotistical?" invites readers to engage deeply with Scripture, particularly passages like Romans 11:36 and Hebrews 4:12, which challenge their assumptions and invite serious consideration. Kean’s work provides a thoughtful examination of biblical texts, guiding seekers to understand whether God’s centrality in all creation is a sign of arrogance or an inevitable truth about reality.
“The stakes are high,” Kean explained. “How we answer this question reshapes our entire spiritual journey and relationship with the divine. This book isn’t about finding easy answers; it’s about engaging with challenging questions that honor both the mind and the heart.”
Kean’s book aims to provide readers with permission to ask difficult questions about God without fear of compromising their faith. He believes that genuine spiritual maturity is evidenced by the ability to wrestle with these fundamental issues. “I hope that readers find this book a valuable tool for exploring their faith and gaining a deeper understanding of God’s character,” he said.
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, "Is God Selfish and Egotistical?" offers a profound exploration of faith that is both biblically grounded and pastorally sensitive. The book is now available for purchase at local bookstores or online through platforms such as the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.
