I searched and saw that Erica mentioned him a few times. I just wanted to see his name in the subject line. Wow! I am reading "The Rhythm of Life" I can't believe I haven't read his work before now.
I am looking forward to finishing and reading some more of his books.

Tammy,
I'm so thrilled that you're enjoying Matthew's book. I need to pull it off the shelf again - it always speaks to me in a new way.

I've seen Matthew speak many times now and he truly has found his calling and gift from God. He speaks clearly and to the heart.

I was so excited to see him on EWTN. I don't know him personally (other than a few casual conversations after talks and such) but I felt so "proud" of him and thrilled that a wider audience will be able to hear his message -- which I truly believe is God's call to each of us to be "the best version of yourself".

Thanks for sharing your excitement - it makes mewant to go grab that book and re-read it!

Erica

Fr. encouraged us to watch his talk for Catholic Missions this lent . I'm not one for seminars etc. asmall crowd type person but he really had some logical things to say . I really picked up on the being able to represent our religion in a posative light and it encouraged me to write about practicing the virtue of faith and not be afraid . His view on us letting secular media represent us was so true . I can see too how its up to us .We don't need to defend by attacking etc. but we do need to not be afraid to be Catholic Christian and show all the great things we are doing out there and how wonderful a life with Christ is
So as a missionary it really gave me strength to get out there and evangelize & help in conversion . Matthew really helped back me up
Much Lov , Rox
