Historians are still unclear about who authored the book of Matthew. Was it truly the apostle Matthew, a tax collector who was called to follow Jesus, or was it an anonymous Jewish scholar? Whatever the case, the words in Matthew’s Gospel have been divinely inspired and have valuable insights to offer.
Deacon Francis J. Foyt recognizes the importance of breaking open the Bible to better understand the simple truths inside, which is why he wrote Ordinary Matthew.
This book is rich with history and grounded in life experience, pulling out practical wisdom from scripture stories you may have heard dozens of times. Each meditation takes little time to read but prompts deeper thought and reflection.
God’s word is as relevant now as it was when it was first written. Christians of today should celebrate the wisdom guidance and comfort found in the Bible and apply it to their own lives. Foyt’s reflections will enable you to do just that!

Francis J. Foyt earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics with minor concentrations in philosophy and theology from St. John’s University in 1965. He’s worked for the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, enjoyed a thirty-year career at IBM, and spent twelve years in real estate sales.
However, all this life experience has taught Foyt that his faith is more important than anything else. He returned to school and received his master’s in religious studies from Sacred Heart University in 2002. Since then, he’s acted as a high school theology instructor, led religious lectures and retreats for adults, and served as a deacon at parishes in the dioceses of Bridgeport, Connecticut, and Portland, Maine.
