Publisher's summary

There is a voice within you. Listening to that voice is the difference be­tween happiness and misery, wonderful memories and heartrending regrets. The Rock­ing Chair Prophet is a transformational story about reclaiming that voice and the unmiti­gated joy that comes from following it.

After an unspeakable tragedy devastates his life, Daniel, a 33-year-old sub­urban man, disappears into the mountains. Years later, he reemerges filled with uncom­mon wisdom and other extraordinary gifts.

From that day on, people travel from far and wide to meet with Daniel, who sits on his rocking chair, meeting with visitors and helping them explore their deeply per­sonal questions. These questions lead to a se­ries of epic conversations that traverse life’s quintessential topics like love, suffering, health and well-being, education, work, money and things, spirituality, regrets, depression, ambi­tion, nature, parenting, midlife crisis, choic­es, our hopes and dreams, the meaning of life, and enduring friendship.

The Rocking Chair Prophet is a rich explo­ration of life and the human condition. It’s an invitation to rediscover yourself and reorient your life. Matthew Kelly has masterfully wo­ven into the story a piercing wisdom that is thought-provoking on a life-changing scale. It is stunning that one book can have some­thing so meaningful to say on so many topics. This is destined to be a book listeners return to time and again, a book that speaks to us anew in every season of life.

Golden Nuggets Found Here

In a narrative form Matthew Kelly weaves proverbial wisdom. Catch the proverbs from the rocking chair prophet.

The way in which God spoke to my reflection of my life through this great book.

Start to finish this book is an easy and quick read and has such beautiful connections to the longings in life we don’t understand yet, God clearly enables us to desire the understanding and to open our minds and heart to the answers that we hold within ourselves when we come into alignment with God and his Will.

R C Prophet

This is a nice compilation of Christian philosophies. It seems 2-dimensional in the story.

Silence is powerful

Such a creative story that I truly enjoyed. I could relate to some of Daniel's heartaches, hopes and callings.

Impacting.

This was an easy quick listen and impacting. I enjoyed the reader's tone. This is definitely recommended.

Looking for peace

I found the time and reason to be quiet and listen in this story. My life goes on and I have come to understand how listening for God’s is critical in me staying calm in the face of disappointment and failure. I’m better able to pray the right way for me. I don’t worry about what I used too.

Great life lessons

I enjoyed the brief and relevant lessons on questions from rhetorical hearts of Daniel’s guests.
