There's Never Been Nothing
A Personal Journey to Spiritual misUnderstanding
There's Never Been Nothing isn’t a self-help book. It is a raw, authentic examination of author Matthew Leatherwood’s journey to find his spiritual self. What readers will discover is one man’s fifty-year search for truth. Leatherwood tells his story and shares the lessons he has learned through love and loss, work and play, health and illness, and sheer determination and grit.
Other people just like you are seeking their spiritual truth every day—and Leatherwood demonstrates that you are never alone in this endeavor. His unique and gripping story is a deep examination of his life’s journey, as well as his perspective on religion, the meaning of life, and his place in the universe.
The moments spent reading this book can be deeply reflective or simple tests of your own decisions. Leatherwood’s sincere wish is that readers take away the message of hope in mankind and faith in a higher being, whatever they choose that to be.
