Mustard Seeds: Daily Thoughts to Grow with

Daily wisdom from Matthew Kelly, one of the most fascinating and enriching writers on Catholicism and daily life that leads to Rome. When you need a pick me up .... try these seeds ... and watch the fruit they bear.

Excellent food for thought with so much more to offer, the simple interpretations and observations found within this little book are perfectly presented for challenging your growth in spiritual understanding, personal relationships and interactions. It's a great collection of insight to fuel self-improvement by encouraging prayer and deep thinking in your quiet moments of silence.The book has a very fitting introduction to the author, but the real gem of it all is the author's messages and motivational reflections. Broken down into short, poignant captions or stories, one found under each day of the month, [excluding a leap year] and range from a simple sentence to a couple of paragraphs in length. Most are direct and straight forward in design, others are more complex for pondering, but all will provoke the mind. It's a wonderful source that does not become exhaustible, remains timeless year after year. Repeat through the book annually and the words will become embedded in your thoughts, and with it, will come a new generation of discoveries in how the knowledge can be applied to your own life all over again.Instead of just strictly reading one by one on a daily basis, I'll sometimes keep reading through a whole month's worth of passages until I come across a statement that stands out in my mind, persuading me to meditate on it. Either way you choose to use it, the book is fairly easy to relate to and the concepts are just right for contemplation. Keep them in the back of your mind for inspiration and share with others.If you're familiar with Matthew Kelly or not, anyone interested can plant these seeds of wisdom in their life and gain from them. The book is a very recommendable buy.

I can't change anybody, except for that person looking back at me in the mirror. And, prayer is the key to help me change. Matthew Kelly has given me wonderful insights; ones that challenge me to change, to grow. For that and for this book I am profoundly thankful.

Matthew has an incredible ability to get you thinking differently. He makes me think of a lyric from a U2 song: "we thought that we had the answers but it was the questions we had wrong."I know that Matthew is young but his grasp of Christian ideals and how they should challenge us to better ourselves inspires those of all ages. Make the pages of this book part of your daily ritual. They will ground you and make your walk more effective and real.

Mustard Seeds is a wonderful book that helps an individual come to daily meditation with God. I have had the opportunity to hear Matthew Kelly speak on 5 different occasions. His message can be related to by any walk of faith. Matthew's wisdom and practical insight are far beyond that of a typical 25 year old man. The world definately needs more inspirational people such as Matthew. I am very honored to have him as a friend!
