    About this ebook

    This popular and bestselling book of the renowned Franciscan challenges people to move beyond the comfort of a settled life toward an understanding of themselves that is rooted in their connection to God. Only when they rest in God can they find the certainty and the freedom to become all that they can be. Contemplation has its place at the heart of Christianity, a place that allows people to experience how “everything belongs.”

    Richard Rohr

    Fr. Richard Rohr is a globally recognized ecumenical teacher bearing witness to the universal awakening within Christian mysticism and the Perennial Tradition. He is a Franciscan priest of the New Mexico Province and founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Fr. Richard's teaching is grounded in the Franciscan alternative orthodoxy—practices of contemplation and lived kenosis (self-emptying), expressing itself in radical compassion, particularly for the socially marginalized. Fr. Richard is the author of numerous books, including Everything Belongs, Adam’s Return, The Naked Now, Breathing Under Water, Falling Upward, Immortal Diamond, and Eager to Love: The Alternative Way of Francis of Assisi. Fr. Richard is academic Dean of the Living School for Action and Contemplation. Drawing upon Christianity's place within the Perennial Tradition, the mission of the Living School is to produce compassionate and powerfully learned individuals who will work for positive change in the world based on awareness of our common union with God and all beings. Visit cac.org for more information.

      Any early Richard Rohr reflection on spiritual growth and letting go. The only thing keeping it from five stars was that it was a bit harder for me to understand that FALLING UPWARD, the first of his books that I read. Maybe I should read them in chronological order!
    • 5/5
      I have yet to read a book by Richard Rohr that does not resonate and hit me with a synchronistic lightning bolt of wisdom. Every word within this book is gold. Highly recommend to any lapsed christian and philosopher that is looking to find deeper meaning in our modern world.
    • 4/5
      Richard Rohr hovered on the edge of my awareness for some time before I began to read him, so I am still catching up with many of his books. This one is a very insightful discussion of contemplative prayer, and why we need to practice it. Along the way, Fr. Rohr tosses off some gems, like this comment on how organized Christianity has prioritized Jesus as King, Priest and Prophet: "I've never seen a church of Jesus the Prophet." I found reading from this book for ten minutes or so was a good set up for contemplation.
    • 5/5
      This book is just what I needed. It's approachable, yet full of fresh perspectives, or should I say reminders, as many of these perspectives have been around for ages though rejected by much of modern Christianity.

      This book helped me reframe my understanding of God in me, God in others, and God in the world. I highly recommend this to people of all backgrounds, especially those who are wanting a different perspective than many evangelical churches
