Kelly's most recent works include a children's book entitled I Know Jesus and a compilation of thoughts entitled The Long View. Kelly's book Rediscover Catholicism (originally published under the title Rediscovering Catholicism) has sold millions of copies worldwide. He is also the founder and CEO of Floyd consulting (formerly known as Beresford Consulting) and The Dynamic Catholic Institute. In 1995, Kelly became the founder of and contributor to the Matthew Kelly Foundation, a charitable organisation. His speaking engagements have included travel in more than 50 countries, where he has spoken to millions of people. Since that time, his books have been published in 25 languages, and 12 of them have appeared on the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, or USA Today best-seller lists. A professor recorded a speech that Kelly gave for 50 people in his business school, and then began distributing the tapes to other interested students. Kelly began speaking at the age of 19, while he was still in college. Kelly married his wife Meggie in the spring of 2009. After a few days, Kelly was encouraged to go to daily Mass, where he began to connect more deeply with his faith. This family friend, a physician, challenged him to spend ten minutes each day in a church in prayer. He was raised Catholic, but was "restless and discontent" in his faith until his later teen years, when a family friend encouraged him to look deeper into his faith.
Matthew Kelly was born on 12 July 1973 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, and is the fourth of eight boys.
