Matthew Kelly shares an excerpt from his book Life is Messy

Episode 2127: An Excerpt From the Book Life is Messy by Matthew Kelly on Putting Your Life Back Together

This book is about putting our lives back together, and allowing ourselves to be put back together, when life doesn’t turn out as we expected it to. Based on his own heart-wrenching personal journals, Matthew Kelly shares how the worst three years of his life affected him, by exploring this question: Can someone who has been broken be healed and become more beautiful and more lovable than ever before?

More about the book can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1635822009
