If you are Catholic and in need of a good inspiring read, pick up this book. Mathew is inspiring and so faith-filled that it can't help but rub off on you. I promise you will feel better about yourself and your place in the world after reading. Mathew is correct when he says, "Nothing is more attractive than holiness: this is the reality".

5.0 out of 5 stars Joy beyond belief

I've read several of Matthew Kelly's books and finally read this , his first. This book brings you to the beginning of his life changing experience with the Divine and makes you want to change your life too. For someone so young to be able to share his change of heart makes it somehow easier to start or continue foreward with your own journey of the soul. I've read and reread the book over the last several months and always glean new insights to help me on my journey. Following his guideline for silence and solitude has brought me so much peace, joy, and happiness, I want everyone I know and love to experience this incredible gift.

Very excellent. I had seen Matthew in person several years ago. He makes a good and passionate and a full life attainable and what we should strive for. I would like our Bible Study group to all read this book and discuss it. I plan on rereading this selection and to take note so I am able to read and review the valuable points that Matthew had stressed. Our lives are worth more than we make of them. I could write on and on how impressed I was with this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Has depth, but lacks breadth
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2008
Verified Purchase
The book is very well-written and organized. Clearly, the author has been blessed with insights uncommon for someone so young - or anyone for that matter. Probably because of his age at the time of writing, the principles he describes so well are not always extrapolated for the reader. I suspect his relative lack of worldly experiences just doesn't offer him the opportunity to apply his tenets to daily life. Where he did do so it made the foundation of the book so much stronger and applicable.

This is definitely a reference book as well as a read through. One needs to read it with a highlighter handy.

Matthew Kelly shares an inspirational walk with God and how to dilute meaningless "stuff" in our lives that keep us from being close to God. His insight to listening is very good - he hits the nail on the head. He also distinguishes the difference between blessings and what we Westerners perceive as our rights. An overinflated ego doesn't notice the miracles in life which keeps God's plan hidden. I shared this book with my 25 year-old son. He is reading a little of it everyday.
