About the author
Matthew McDanel is a writer with a heart for helping others find peace through perspective. Grounded in faith and shaped by real-life challenges, his work speaks to anyone who’s ever struggled with fear, doubt, or the feeling of being stuck. In his debut book, The two ways to look at everything, Matthew gently reminds us that while we can’t always control what happens to us, we can choose how we see it—and that choice can change everything.
With a conversational, compassionate style, Matthew writes not from a place of perfection but from experience. His words are rooted in honesty, vulnerability, and a deep belief in the power of God’s timing. Drawing from the emotional highs and lows of everyday life, he offers encouragement that is both practical and profound.
Beyond the page, Matthew is a devoted husband and father who finds purpose in the simple things: family, faith, and the quiet strength that comes from trusting the process. He believes that growth is always possible, that peace is always within reach, and that each of us has the power to shift our perspective—and, in doing so, reshape our lives.
