Publisher's summary

Is your life working?

Most of us are trying to put together the jigsaw puzzle we call life without a very important piece. Over time this becomes incredibly frustrating. In this extraordinary book, Matthew Kelly powerfully demonstrates that we cannot live the life we have imagined or experience the joy we yearn for unless we learn to tend the soul. From there, with his classic style of practical wisdom, he teaches us how to remedy this problem.

When our bodies are hungry, our stomachs growl. When our souls are hungry, we become irritable, restless, confused, overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, discontent, and tend to focus on the things that matter least and neglect the things that matter most.

Are you taking care of your soul? Are you feeding it and nurturing it? Or are you ignoring it and neglecting it? The reality is, most people have never really been taught how to tend their souls. I Heard God Laugh will help you to do just that, and so much more.

If you ever wondered how Matthew Kelly has been able to write and speak the way he has over the past three decades, he is about to share his secret with you. As he shares what transformed his life, along with intimate details of his own journey and struggle, he teaches us how to apply the great spiritual lessons learned to our own lives.

At every turn he floods the listener with hope and demonstrates unmistakably that the best is yet to come!

Brilliant

This is an amazing call to prayer. It is so consistent and factual that I could not deny its relevance for my life. Brilliant writer who works to be the best version of himself and challenges us to follow him on the same pilgrimage that he is on. And he does so with strength and it is infectious.

His BEST Book!

I have read several of Matthew Kelly’s books but I think this is his best! I’ll probably buy the hard copy to refer back to portions. It’s a powerful book.

I Heard God Laugh

Matthew Kelly’s “ I Heard God Laugh” is a beautiful lesson and soulful directive on how to pray. It’s not what you think. It’s not the standard talk on “how to pray”. It’s so much more. Your soul will be filled. It’s a feeling of gently and warmly holding the hand of God as you talk in comfort and trust. I will be listening again to absorb more.

What an inspiring read

There are times when a book moves me so much that I have to purchase an additional copy so that I can go back over and read what I just listened to…this is definitely one of those books! Truly inspiring!
