About this ebook

In this deeply personal bestseller, Matthew Kelly reflects on the challenges of passing faith onto children. Written just ten-months after the birth of his first child, he writes about his own faith, why religion has played such a powerful role throughout history, why so many people are leaving the Catholic Church today, and the hopes he has for his son when it comes to the spiritual life. Kelly writes, Religion is the primary humanizing force in a person, in a society, in history. In my own experience this is particularly true of the Catholic form of Christianity. Catholicism makes me a-better-version-of-myself. It makes me more human. But ultimately his reflection centers on a single question, If I could teach my son one thing that would ensure his appreciation of Catholicism, what would it be? As always Kelly's ideas are engaging and challenging, but writing for the first time as a father it is clear that he is growing in new and fascinating ways.

Matthew Kelly es un autor superventas, conferenciante, líder intelectual, empresario, consultor, líder espiritual e innovador. Ha dedicado su vida a ayudar a personas y organizaciones a convertirse en la mejor versión de sí mismas. Nacido en Sídney (Australia), empezó a dar conferencias y a escribir al final de su adolescencia, mientras estudiaba negocios. Desde entonces, cinco millones de personas han asistido a sus seminarios y presentaciones en más de cincuenta países. En la actualidad, Kelly es un conferenciante, autor y consultor empresarial aclamado internacionalmente. Sus libros se han publicado en más de treinta idiomas, han aparecido en las listas de los más vendidos de The New York Times, Wall Street Journal y USA Today, y han vendido más de cincuenta millones de ejemplares. A los veintipocos años desarrolló el concepto de «la mejor versión de uno mismo» y lleva más de veinticinco compartiéndolo en todos los ámbitos de la vida. Lo citan presidentes y celebridades, deportistas y sus entrenadores, líderes empresariales e innovadores, aunque quizá nunca se cita con más fuerza que cuando una madre o un padre pregunta a un hijo: «¿Te ayudará eso a convertirte en la mejor versión de ti mismo?». Los intereses personales de Kelly incluyen el golf, la música, el arte, la literatura, las inversiones, la espiritualidad y pasar tiempo con su mujer y sus hijos.
