Matt has written a fun first book.  I hope he continues to write, since I feel he has a heart for it, and expresses himself so well.This book is full of antidotes about a man who was seemingly born a klutz, and put his parents through middle age into grey hair long before their time.  A pat on the back to both of them is in order.Each chapter entails one of his life experiences.  Some  I cringed at and shivered reading, remembering how things like that happened in my life and remembering my children going through some of them.  The great part is that he has woven really great life examples along with humor.  Just remember that as you are reading this, it seems to jump from youth to adulthood, and sometimes back.  At first this threw me, but I realized that he was just going back and forth in life as things happened.  In some chapters, he is a child, and in others, he is a teen, a grownup, a teacher, a husband, etc.I highly recommend this book for quick one-chapter-at-a-time reading, or a couple of hours' sit-down.  I dare anyone to put it down after one chapter, though.  I wanted to know what else this man could get himself into, so couldn't put it down.I loved every moment of reading about his life, his clumsiness, embarrasements, and his unfailing ability to pick himself up, dust himself off, and push ahead.  I can tell that his faith in a living God has brought him through everything without him preaching about it.  I look forward to reading more about his present and future skips, jumps, bumps, falls, and victories.
