‘Before I was on The X Factor Australia, before I performed for a pope … I was an alienated, messed-up teenager.’
The story of Fr Rob Galea is a journey from desperation to hope. Struggling under the weight of addiction and depression, Fr Rob was considering ending his life when redemption came through a phone call. Knowing that he needed help, Fr Rob fought his demons to forge a relationship with Jesus Christ and has never looked back.
Breakthrough asks you to find your way through adversity to the better life that awaits you. It’s a powerful story about recovery, redemption and faith, and is told by one of the most charismatic priests of our time.
“Who could to fail to be moved by this book? No matter what age you are, this book holds a promise … Fr Rob is truly a man of God.”
