I sat there last night holding my son Walter longer than usual, and, in the midst of my thoughts and prayers, I was filled with questions. They were questions about passing faith onto children: Will my son grow to appreciate the Catholic faith the way I do? Will he attend church joyfully? Will he go through a rebellious stage? Will he reject the faith of his parents and leave the Catholic Church? Will he be attracted to another religion? Will the secularism of today's culture turn him away from organized religion altogether? Excerpt from The One Thing In this deeply personal bestseller, Matthew Kelly reflects on the challenges of passing faith onto children. Written just ten-months after the birth of his first child, he writes about his own faith, why religion has played such a powerful role throughout history, why so many people are leaving the Catholic Church today, and the hopes he has for his son when it comes to the spiritual life. Kelly writes, Religion is the primary humanizing force in a person, in a society, in history. In my own experience this is particularly true of the Catholic form of Christianity. Catholicism makes me a-better-version-of-myself. It makes me more human. But ultimately his reflection centers on a single question, If I could teach my son one thing that would ensure his appreciation of Catholicism, what would it be? As always Kelly's ideas are engaging and challenging, but writing for the first time as a father it is clear that he is growing in new and fascinating ways.

Do you believe it's possible to be happier than you have ever been before? Not for fleeting moments, but consistently? Bestselling author Matthew Kelly believes it is possible—and in his latest book, The Biggest Lie, he explains how. We all want to be happy and live life to the fullest, but the answer isn't found in the world's definition of happiness. Modern culture is constantly feeding us lies, and these lies affect you more than you know. The lies that affect you the most, however, are the ones you tell yourself. These lies steal your joy, sap your energy, and cause you to lose hope. They prevent you from discovering the kind of vibrant faith the first Christians experienced. But as Kelly shows, we've arrived at a crucial moment in history. People are disillusioned with what the world offers. The world is in desperate need of change, and no one is in a better position to effect that change than Christians. We have an incredible opportunity to dispel the lies and cut through the confusion and false promises around us. This book provides the practical tools necessary to help you regain your fervor and leave your mark on the world—and experience more happiness than you thought possible. Together we can change the course of history—with humility, generosity, kindness, and joy, one Holy Moment at a time.

LLEVAMOS UNA VIDA AGITADA EN UN MUNDO CAÓTICO Todo esto nos puede llevar a una confusión que nubla la mente, inquieta el alma y nos conduce a tomar decisiones inadecuadas. En medio de tal caos y confusión, anhelamos escuchar la voz de Dios con mayor claridad. Dios quiere traer orden a nuestra existencia. Quiere reorganizar nuestras prioridades. Si le permitimos hacerlo, seremos más felices de lo que jamás imaginábamos que era posible en esta vida, y finalmente entonces conoceremos la paz que todos añoramos pero que muy pocos eventualmente encuentran. Nuestra espiritualidad católica nos invita constantemente a establecer las profundas raíces de orden en nuestra vida y una de las mejores maneras que conozco es rezando el rosario. El rosario funciona. Es una forma muy poderosa de hacer oración. Hay algo en él que asienta nuestra mente y nuestro corazón. Pone todo en perspectiva y nos permite ver las cosas según lo que realmente son. Llega a las profundidades de nuestra alma y nos calma, generando una paz que es inusual y bella. Cuando rezo el rosario, soy una mejor persona. Me hace un mejor hermano, esposo, padre, empresario, vecino, ciudadano y miembro de la familia humana. Me enseña a tomar las cosas con más calma, a serenarme, a dejar lo que haya que dejar, a renunciar a mí mismo y entregarme, y a escuchar. El rosario nos enseña cómo simplemente ser y esa no es una lección pequeña ni insignificante. Es la oración perfecta para la gente con múltiples demandas en un mundo caótico, confundido y agitado. Pero no me tomes la palabra. Descúbrelo tú mismo. Desarrolla el hábito de rezar el rosario y descubre los tesoros de esta poderosa oración ancestral.
