As a
teenager, Fr. Rob Galea's
reaction to those painful
feelings was addiction,
violence, and destructive
friendships. When the
recording artist and
former Australian X
Factor contestant finally
let God in, his life
completely changed. In
Breakthrough, Fr. Rob
shares his journey from
scared teenager to
passionate priest and
invites you to learn more
about the Catholic faith
so you, too, can find
hope in Christ.
Contemporary culture
compels approaches to
evangelization that are
new in ardor, method, and
expression. Fr. Rob
Galea's efforts to reach
young people with the
saving power of
the Gospel exemplify
all three, and in his new
book, he reveals
precisely where his zeal
for the mission
originates—in a
personal relationship
with Jesus Christ, who is
living, present, and
accessible to all people
in his Church.
—Most Rev. Robert
Barron, Auxiliary Bishop
of Los Angeles Fr. Rob
Galea's story reveals
what happens when God is
allowed to break through
our little, personal
worlds. It is the story
of a dynamic, young,
comitted 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 Ligh
Catholic Media Foundation
Fr. Rob bears his heart
and soul in Breakthrough.
His vulnerability and
authenticity are
refreshing, his story is
encouraging, and his love
for the Lord is an
inspiration to anyone who
seeks Jesus and desires
to give thier life to
him. I enjoyed this book
and highly recommend it
to anyone, especially
young people who want to
love the Lord and know
where they fit and how
God can use them.
