“I Heard God Laugh”

Description:

“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 reader with hope and demonstrates unmistakably that the best is yet to come!” 

Personal Thoughts-

I Heard God Laugh has changed my prayer life! 

A few weeks ago I visited a Goodwill Book Store, and I was walking through the shelves when I spotted this book. As soon as I saw it, I had this intense feeling that I should buy it! I have never read any of Matthew Kelly’s books, but I probably will in the future. Matthew Kelly writes about the many ways that making a habit of prayer can change a person’s life starting with just ten minutes a day. 

The book is encouraging, convicting, and hope-filled. It forces the reader to think about their life and whether or not they are “…feeding [their] soul…” and what their relationship with God is like. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who struggles with prayer and making it a daily habit. I have already noticed a brighter attitude, and less stress throughout my day. I have struggled to make prayer a habit for years, and often go through phases where I will pray consistently, but then stop, and God has used the book to help me create a stronger habit.  

I think this could be read by 15-16 year olds and up. ⭐⭐⭐⭐. I give it 4 stars.
