Our Catholic parish offered its members this book as a read along in Advent of 2020. I jumped at the chance to read another of Matthew Kelly's books, and I heard God laugh did not disappoint. I've read a few of his books, and I found this one to be the best so far. It is a very practical guide to starting a habit of praying daily and how exactly to do that.
I grew up Catholic, but nobody ever taught me pray properly and I've never had a good habit of daily prayer. This book makes me believe that I can finally do it, and pray every day!
I think this book is best read as an extra book - while you're reading some or other fiction as well - and relatively slowly. I don't this you would get the full benefit if you read it through in 2 days. I also think it's a great book to read in December or January, when most of us are trying to institute some new habits to coincide with the new year. I feel like this is especially true following the pandemic year that 2020 was.
