In 2008, Kevin Matthews, a well-known ABC and CBS radio personality in Chicago, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. As the drive-time radio host for seventeen years on AM 1000 The Loop and ABC and CBS radio, and also the voice of his sports commentator, Jim Shorts, and other characters, Matthews entertained ten million listeners weekly, sold out every appearance in the Midwest, and performed in front of 65,000 fans at Grant Park. He traveled around the world, met the famous, had babies named after him, and helped countless charities. He entertained hundreds of thousands of people inside prisons, army bases, and backyards. His promotions included comedy jams, a band, barbeque throw downs, and golf outings.

Broken Mary is Matthews’ story of his early years in radio and stand-up comedy, his successful career, his struggle with MS, his awakening to the dignity of women, and, importantly, his chance encounter with a broken statue of Mary left next to a dumpster and all that happened as a result. Told with Matthews’ signature good humor, this confession of the brokenness of mankind is touchingly honest, personally inspiring, and full of hope.

In 2016, Matthews penned his debut book, Broken Mary–an honest and hilarious confession about his struggle with multiple sclerosis and his discovery of this broken statue of the mother of Jesus. But what happened after the initial discovery of this statue he would begin to bring everywhere with him? Where would she lead him to next?

Almost a decade later, Mary’s Roadie documents this very story.

With humor and vulnerability, Matthews recalls the extraordinary moments, the life-changing trips, and the prayers answered since that fateful day in 2011. From flying across oceans, to working with nuns, and speaking in the last place he ever expected, this story will deeply touch anyone who reads these pages. Kevin Matthews bares his love of God, his love of the Son of God, and the woman who gave birth to Jesus, our blessed Mother Mary. Mary’s Roadie will blanket you in hope and, most of all, remind you of how loved you are by God.
