Kevin has traveled the world, met with the famous, had babies named after him; a father, a husband, Matthews had the perfect life.
That is until God led Kevin to a filthy dumpster where he discovered a broken statue of the Blessed Mother and immediately his life and world would be turned upside-down.
In 2016, Matthews penned his debut book, Broken Mary—an honest and hilarious confession about his struggle with multiple sclerosis and his discovery of a broken statue of the Mother of Jesus that would change the trajectory of his life forever. But what happened after the initial discovery of this statue he would begin to bring everywhere with him? Where would she lead him to next?
Almost a decade later, “Mary’s Roadie” documents this very story.
With humor and vulnerability, Matthews recalls the extraordinary moments, the life-changing trips, and the prayers answered since that fateful day in 2011.
From flying across oceans, to working with nuns, and speaking in the last place he ever expected, this story will deeply touch anyone who reads these pages. “We all are broken, but we are loved by God” Kevin Matthews bares his love of God, his love of the son of God and the woman who gave birth to Jesus, our blessed Mother Mary.
