Description


In your best moments, you want to do something to make the world better.

But how? Who can show you the way, inspire you, and teach you the tricks of the trade? Discover the remarkable journey of Fr. Marvin Mottet-a life of resilience, inspiration, and lessons on transforming the world through compassion and action.

Walk alongside Fr. Mottet.

  • Discover his extraordinary encounters with people like Mother Teresa, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Dorothy Day.
  • Enjoy his relationships with Woodchopper, the town drunk, a prostitute in Washington D.C., and the beautiful girl who lit up his life for almost seventy years.
  • Watch Fr. Mottet overcome adversity and make tangible differences as he battles terminal cancer fifty years before his death, starts organizations that still make a difference, receives a surprise three million dollars, uses his never-fail fundraising strategy, endures the sex abuse scandal, conducts exorcisms, and prepares for death.
  • Laugh with Fr. Mottet about the cockroach sign in the basement of his first office, the elephant that bellowed during his Holy Trinity homily, and Miss Pat's kegger.
  • Learn ten practical lessons he passed on. He just might rub off on you.

Discover what the two feet are all about.

Fr. Mottet's biographical memoir in his own words is distilled from over 100 hours of interviews. You can almost hear his mischievous chuckle and feel the passion for social justice that made him a leader, drew people to him, and inspired his famous two feet model of love in action. You'll catch yourself smiling. If he can change the world, maybe you can too.

It's time to get started. All proceeds from this book will go to non-profit organizations Fr. Mottet chose.
