"Breakthrough is a book about trust--trusting in God step by step, little by little, day by day, until one day we can jump off the cliff and into his waiting arms." --From the foreword by Rev. Liam Lawton, Irish singer-songwriter and recording artist "Knowing Fr. Rob for the past decade has been a blessing, inspiration and encouragement for my own priestly ministry with young people. Rob's book is more than just the journey of a young man to human and spiritual maturity; it is also a blatantly honest, inspiring, and edifying story for any person who seeks to allow God into his or her life. Rob's story reveals what happens when God is allowed to break through our little, personal worlds. It is the story of a dynamic, young, committed Catholic priest, singer and performer, and a testimony to the Mighty One who continues to do great things in the lives of young women and men today." --Rev. Thomas Rosica, C.S.B., CEO of the Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation "Who could fail to be moved by this book? No matter what age you are, this book holds a promise. Fr. Rob takes us beautifully through the never-ending story of God's love for him and as you read this book, God's love for you. There is nothing Fr. Rob has written here that cannot equally apply to you. God loves you; he will walk over cut glass to get to you, no matter what you think of yourself. If you are hurting, so is God. Fr. Rob knows that and so will you if you are game enough to call out to God and then follow the suggestions Fr. Rob has in this book. There is a wonderful world waiting for you, and it has God's signature and yours all over it! Fr Rob is truly a man of God. I will pray for each of you who read this book that you too will find the Love that cancels out all debts and waits with an open heart just for you." --Sr. Hilda Scott, O.S.B., Jamberoo Abbey, New South Wales, Australia "One of the Church's most effective evangelists and entertainers (and those are by no means mutually exclusive categories), Fr. Rob Galea shares his remarkable life with us in his first book. Along the way, we learn lessons about faith and forgiveness, suffering and hope, laughter and tears. Open these pages to find out why he's one of the most well-known and beloved priests on the world stage today." --Rev. James Martin, S.J. "In Breakthrough, Fr. Rob Galea invites us into his ongoing journey of encountering Christ and shows us how this encounter can be life-changing and fruitful if we open ourselves to the love of Jesus. A timely reminder of the hope we are offered in our deepest and darkest times!" --Curtis A. Martin, Founder and CEO of FOCUS
