Publisher's summary

New York Times, USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal best-selling author.

Life is messy. It isn't a color within the lines exercise. It's a wild and outrageous invitation full of uncertain outcomes. The mess of life is both inevitable and unexpected. It is filled with delightful mysteries and frustrating predicaments. In our disposable culture, we throw broken things away. So, what will we do with broken people, broken relationships, broken institutions, broken families, and of course, our very own broken selves? We are all broken and wounded.

This audiobook is about putting our lives back together and allowing ourselves to be put back together when life doesn't turn out as we expected it to.

Based on his own heart-wrenching personal journals, Matthew Kelly shares how the worst three years of his life affected him by exploring this question: Can someone who has been broken be healed and become more beautiful and more lovable than ever before? The answer will fill you with hope. There has never been a more urgent need for us to attend to what is happening within us. This is quite simply the right audiobook at the right time.

Supportive and Inspiring for those feelings broken

This book hits home for people feeling broken, betrayed, and otherwise at low points. Not only shows a ray of hope, but also some simple things anyone can do to better our own lives at humans, no matter where we are in our journey to becoming “more.” Highly recommend!

Deeply personal, deeply real and relatable.

Matthew pulled the curtain back on personal suffering allowing healing to begin. God bless his wisdom and insight.

Powerful

I have read many books in my life, however, I have never left a review. This book impacted me so much I recommend it to anyone I can. It is applicable to the good times and the hard times in life. Like everyone, I’ve had many of those. This book, particularly the audible version with Matthew Kelly’s soothing voice, is one of the top most impactful on my daily life that I’ve ever read.

Wow, I needed this book, you will too.

The book went fast and I was really absorbed into the reading.

The reading seemed so real and directed to me like a conversation.

life changing!!!

This book is so intriguing, captivating, and thought invoking! So relevant to everyone today.

Hard to listen to

Although he is a popular author, I find this book impossible to listen to and have stopped listening to it with 5 hours left.

makes you rethink your life

I've been struggling for quite few months with massive anxiety, afraid of the future and how life will unfold. I know there is so much work to do still but this book helped me think about how to start changing what I can, to focus on what is important. thank you for the gift

Thankful for this message

We often forget the most obvious! I thank the author for capsulizing the message that we are human and life IS messy.

I am so glad I picked this one up…

This was an amazing read and truly meaningful/moving….Broken things put back together can absolutely be better than the original, this I know first hand💙

A must read, beautifully written.

I've never read one of his books before. I saw the title and although I'm picky with my credits...I went for it and was blown away. How apropos for this time in history. Poignant, thoughtful, wise, loving and kind. Highly recommend.
