If your spiritual life were a house, what would it be like? What street would it be on? What part of town would it be in? What would it look like? Would it be a house or a home? Is it in need of renovations? Is it peaceful, noisy, distracting, well-organized, messy?
When Matthew Kelly was a teenager, a spiritual mentor entered his life to help him establish seven transformational habits in his life. These seven pillars have been an enduring source of growth and comfort for Kelly over the past four decades.
In The Seven Pillars of Catholic Spirituality, Matthew Kelly demonstrates the timeless genius of Catholicism by illustrating the practical and spiritual ways these ancient spiritual habits continue to enrich our daily lives today.
Transforming people one at a time is at the heart of God’s plan for the world. He has been using these seven habits to transform ordinary people into saints for a long time. Are you willing to let God transform you?
Matthew Kelly is a best-selling author, speaker, thought leader, entrepreneur, consultant, spiritual leader, and innovator.
He has dedicated his life to helping people and organizations become the-best-version-of-themselves. Born in Sydney, Australia, he began speaking and writing in his late teens while he was attending business school. Since that time, 5 million people have attended his seminars and presentations in more than 50 countries.
Today, Kelly is an internationally acclaimed speaker, author, and business consultant. His books have been published in more than 30 languages, have appeared on The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller lists, and have sold more than 50 million copies.
In his early-twenties he developed "the-best-version-of-yourself" concept and has been sharing it in every arena of life for more than twenty-five years. It is quoted by presidents and celebrities, athletes and their coaches, business leaders and innovators, though perhaps it is never more powerfully quoted than when a mother or father asks a child, "Will that help you become the-best-version-of-yourself?"
Kelly's personal interests include golf, music, art, literature, investing, spirituality, and spending time with his wife, Meggie, and their children Walter, Isabel, Harry, Ralph, and Simon.
A good Matthew Keely book, summarizing good practices of a spiritual life.
Maybe a game changer for me. I will keep this a while and see if its wisdom percolates through my life. Many of Matthew Kelly's books have changed my life; I have passed n about half of them to other people so he can change their lives as well.
Actually I did not finish this book. That rarely happens but I have read a lot of matthew Kelly and this is kind of a repeat. And now that we are headed into Advent I have other devotional readings I will do. Sorry Matthew. You do great work.
'Seven Pillars' is a fresh look at our Catholic faith. Kelly has a great accent, and a great talent for story-telling. I'm new to the Faith, and this CD reinforced many things from RCIA.
Great book. Love Matthew Kelly's books. Entertaining. Informative. "Catholic church is genius" favorite quote. Shows what a deep well the Church is. Highly recommend.
