Review: A Call to Joy is just that-- a simple invitation to finding true happiness. Matthew Kelly empowers us to find that true and deep nugget of joy by simply becoming the person God created us to be. Simple, but not always easy. Herein lies the difference between this "call" and 99% of the other self-help/ psychology/ motivational books on the market. . . we can't do it alone. We shouldn't pretend that we can do it alone. Get God's grace. This is a great read for anyone seeking to get closer to God, even if you've never been involved in any organized religion. It will strike your core.

Summary: Matthew Kelly; "A Call to Joy"
Review: Absolutely one of my favorite books! I've read it three times (so far). I believe this man truly has a gift. He has inspired me to continue the studying of my faith. I have read almost everyone of his books, and this one by far is my favorite. This book will truly bless you if you allow it to.

Summary: Well written, interesting book.
Review: I was given this book to read by my father, who is a Catholic deacon. Since we don't share similar views on Catholicism, Christianity & the church, I was skeptical. I became more skeptical after realizing this was written by such a young man from Australia who says that God spoke to him at the age of 19! But I continued to read & became deeply interested in his writings. He shares a lot of the same thoughts & beliefs that I do, but he is much better at writing these thoughts for others to understand & apply in their own lives. While his application of these beliefs are more Christian-centered than I am, it was still very interesting & similar to the ways I try to develop my own spirituality & beliefs. I consider it much more universally spiritual than some other Christian-centered writers.

Review: This is one of those rare rare books that you pour over every word, and keep handy at all times. I only wish I could re-experience reading it for the first time, and watching my life change as a result. A Call to Joy has in fact helped me continue to move forward on my journey ever since I first read it - two years ago.Matthew Kelly is an astonishing young writer, only 23 years old when he wrote this book. That alone should be enough to pique your curiosity about A Call To Joy. Further than that, he shares wisdom in this book that I can hardly fathom is gained in a single lifetime, let alone from that of a young man. Simply put, Matthew Kelly's writing is a lot like prescription lenses - he helps us see things in this world, in a practical sense, the way they are. In that, he helps his readers live their lives to the fullest. He strengthens our relationship with God, and gives us much needed persepctive on living in this day and age. I recommend A Call to Joy to everyone. It has the power to change lives. I truly believe that every word written in this book is the truth. Every word in this book is A Call to Joy.
