Matthew Kelly Knihy

Medzi veriacimi sa často stáva, že skôr či neskôr mnohí stratia ilúzie, začnú spochybňovať svoju vieru, pýtajú sa, či má ešte nejaký význam byť v dnešnom svete katolíkom. Akosi ich prestane baviť byť veriacim. Táto kniha je adresovaná všetkým, ktorých baví byť katolíkom, alebo tým, ktorí by chceli, aby ich to znovu bavilo. Autor vychádza z toho, aké dôležité je pre človeka hľadať šťastie a nájsť ho. Úprimne sa pýta, či ho možno nájsť v spoločenstve katolíkov. Odpoveď hľadá aj medzi tými, ktorí ho našli, medzi svätcami moderných i dávnych čias. Veľmi živým a osobným spôsobom približuje sedem základných pilierov života katolíka. A tých, čo pevne na týchto pilieroch dokážu stáť, vyzýva, aby sa stali vodcami, animátormi, vizionármi nového, lepšieho sveta, lepšej Cirkvi.

Táto kniha je pravdivé rozprávanie o tom, ako si ubližujeme, cítime sa preťažení, vzdávame sa snov a nemáme odvahu byť sebou samým... a ako sa znovu otvoriť šťastiu! Čo je odpor? Je to neochota robiť, o čom viete, že je pre vás dobré, a náchylnosť robiť, o čom nepochybujete, že je pre vás zlé. Je to prianie a sklon odkladať záležitosti, ktorým by ste sa práve teraz mali venovať. To sú dva citáty z obálky originálu knihy Neodporuj šťastiu. Veľmi dobre vystihujú jej obsah, ktorý zhltnete za jeden večer. A potom sa ku knihe budete vracať a v konkrétnych situáciách svojho života hľadať, ako aplikovať princípy, ktoré autor overil vo vlastnom živote. Dokonca skúsite aj iných viesť po ceste šťastia. Bude to skvelé dobrodružstvo. Dôležité: Kniha, ktorú držíte v rukách, je o Bohu!

What are the priorities of your family culture? Allow this book of classic wisdom and practical insight to help you build a better family.

What do Mother Theresa, Francis of Assisi, John Paul II, Catherine of Siena, and Ignatius of Loyola have in common? They all practiced the Four Signs. Recent research by The Dynamic Catholic Institute reveals a stark contrast between engaged and disengaged Catholics: a mere 6.4% of parishioners contribute 80% of volunteer hours, while 6.8% provide 80% of financial donations, with an 84% overlap between these groups. These “Dynamic Catholics” are responsible for over 80% of the Church's impact, indicating that engaging just 1% of Catholics could transform the world. Engagement and disengagement are part of our lives, affecting work, marriage, parenting, health, finances, and spirituality. In any Catholic church, you’ll find a spectrum of engagement levels. Understanding the difference between highly engaged and disengaged Catholics is crucial for the Church's future. To revitalize parish life, we must uncover what drives this engagement. Matthew Kelly delves into this topic, revealing four key signs that distinguish Dynamic Catholics. This journey promises to elevate your spiritual life and reinvigorate your parish, fundamentally changing how we live and teach our faith. This book is a game changer.

At a time when many Catholics are disillusioned, questioning their faith, and filled with doubts about the relevance of Catholicism in the modern world, the voice of one man cries out to the world's largest faith community with a clarity that is rare and inspiring.

A business parable about how companies can achieve remarkable results by helping their employees fulfill their dreams. The fictional company in this book is grappling with real problems of high turnover and low morale--so the managers begin to investigate what really drives the employees. What they discover is that the key to motivation isn't necessarily the promise of a bigger paycheck or title, but rather the fulfillment of crucial personal dreams. Beginning with the thought that a company can only become the-best-version-of-itself to the extent that its employees are becoming better-versions-of-themselves, Kelly explores the connection between the dreams we are chasing personally and the way we all engage at work.--From publisher description

How well do you know Jesus? I think about this often, and I always come to the same realization. I don't know Jesus anywhere near as well as I would like to know him. The desire is there, but life gets in the way. There are times when I seem to be making great progress, and other times when I wonder if I know him at all. But I always arrive back at the same inspiring and haunting idea: If there is one person that we should each get to know in a deeply personal way, it is Jesus the carpenter from Nazareth, the itinerant preacher, the Son of God, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the Lamb of God, the new Adam, the Messiah, the Alpha and the Omega, the Chosen One, the Light of the World, the God-Man who wants good things for us more than we want them for ourselves, the healer of our souls. The best time to rediscover Jesus is right now. You are holding this book in your hand at this very moment for a reason. I don't know what God has in store for you, but I am excited for you.

We live in a culture that produces hopelessness with astounding consistency. When everything seems chaotic and we are faced with a multitude of negative realities, we might be tempted to say that nothing makes sense anymore. But we are not alone—God walks with us and his presence fills us with hope. Because of this we are able to smile in the midst of our di culties. Despair is defeated because God is with us. Hope does not disappoint! What gives you hope? What are your hopes and dreams—for yourself, your children, your church, your community, your nation? What sustains that hope and turns those dreams into reality? What are some of the unique ways you bring hope to people in your life? The contributors featured in Beautiful Hope offer intensely personal answers to these questions. Some of them are well-known authors and speakers, but many are ordinary Catholics dealing with everyday life with all its challenges and problems, just like you. Their stories are meant to spark your own exploration of hope and increase its abundance in your life. Today many are worried about the future and what it holds. Many are concerned about the future of our Church. If we are to become those who can shine the light of faith into the darkness of our world, things must change. We need an infusion of hope so we can see more clearly and live boldly as children of God.

Argues that people require satisfaction more than a work-life balance, outlining a system used by the author to promote energy, focus on key priorities, and avoid popular beliefs that compromise personal fulfillment.

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 Matthew 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.
