About the author
From a generation often dismissed as being cynics, slackers, and drifters, has emerged a young man with a vision of life and a tireless passion for sharing that vision. Young, charismatic, and extraordinarily engaging, Matthew Kelly comes to the aid of a generation desperately searching for some meaning in life deeper than the pursuit of material things. Born in Sydney, Australia, Matthew Kelly is now 26. Since late 1993, more than one million people have attended his talks, seminars, and retreats around the world. Against the backdrop of travel to over forty countries, millions more have been touched by his writings and appearances on radio and television programs. In the wake of devoting six years to his international speaking schedule, Kelly has also risen as an author. His most recent books include The Rhythm of Life, A Call to Joy, and Mustard Seeds. Collectively his six titles have been published in seven languages and have sold more than 400,000 copies. Both as a speaker and as a writer, Matthew Kelly possesses a powerful ability to combine the ageless tool of storytelling, with a profound understanding of today's culture and the highest Christian ideals. The result is that he captures our imaginations and helps us to see our struggles in a new light. With his keen sense of humor and heart-warming charm, Kelly seems to effortlessly elevate and energize people to pursue the highest values of the human spirit. Time is Matthew Kelly's best friend. His message is both timely and timeless. His example is inspiring and necessary. His passion for life is assuring and challenging. It is certain that he will continue to be, with increasing influence, one of the most sought-after and endearing voices of our time.
