Nuestro franciscano favorito lo hizo de nuevo --Rob Bell, Love Wins Richard Rohr es uno de los grandes maestros espirituales de nuestro tiempo, de hecho, de cualquier tiempo... Por supuesto, la Trinidad siempre ser un profundo misterio, pero despu s de leer el libro del Padre Rohr, usted lo experimentar como un misterio que puede transformar su vida, y lo har . --James Martin, SJ, Jesus: A Pilgrimage What if changing our perception of God has the potential to change everything? The Trinity is the central doctrine of our entire Christian belief system, and yet we're often told that we shouldn't attempt to understand it because it is a "mystery." The Divine Dance explores that mystery, demonstrating how a deeper conception of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit will transform our relationship with God and renew our lives. What people are saying about The Divine Dance: Finding the sweet spot where contemporary science meets ancient mysticism, and theology meets poetry, The Divine Dance sketches a beautiful choreography for a life well-lived. In our joy or our pain, true life is always relational, a flow, a dance. (And was always meant to be.) ―Bono, U2 This is Richard in peak form, doing what he does best: showing you how the best ideas for the future have actually been here, in the Jesus tradition, the whole time.... Our favorite Franciscan has done it again --Rob Bell, Love Wins Richard Rohr is one of the great spiritual masters of our time, indeed of any time.... The Trinity will of course always remain a profound mystery, but after reading Father Rohr's book, you will experience it as a mystery that can, and will, transform your life. --James Martin, SJ, Jesus: A Pilgrimage

When we're journeying through the first half of life, we often think it will end when we have achieved our goals or climbed as high as we can. With this cultural assumption in our heads, we may arrive at middle age believing there is nowhere to go but down. Falling Upward challenges us to rethink this perspective, shining light on the idea that the end of our first path is not an ending, but a new beginning. As we transition into the second half of life, we are confronted by our challenges, mistakes, losses and other forms of suffering. Little do most of us realize that these sufferings are in fact enormous gifts, opportunities to step outside our comfort zones and broaden our horizons. Drawing on the wisdom from time-honored myths, heroic poems, great thinkers, and sacred religious texts, Rohr explores the two halves of life to show that the heartbreaks and disappointments of the first half are actually stepping-stones to the joys that the second has in store. This revised edition of his beloved book includes many updates that make the content more relevant to today's readers. Among these is a focus, in practical terms, on how we can live meaningful lives in a world of suffering and conflict, as Rohr emphasizes how 'getting it wrong' can lead us directly to the spiritual answers we seek.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In his first major work since The Universal Christ, one of our most prominent spiritual voices offers a wholehearted and hope-filled model for the world today, grounded in the timeless wisdom of the Hebrew prophets. "Richard Rohr is one of the great Christian spiritual masters of our time. Of any time."--James Martin, SJ, author of Come Forth How do we live compassionately in a time of violence and despair? What can we do with our private disappointments and the anger we feel in such an unjust world? In his most personal book yet, Richard Rohr turns to the writings of the Jewish prophets, revealing how some of the lesser-read books of the Bible offer us a crucial path forward today. The prophets' writings reflect the full spectrum of human maturity. In almost every case, their initial rage and their accusatory words evolve into a profound pathos and lamentation about our shared human condition and the world's suffering. Through astute critiques of culture and institutions, and their journey from anger to sadness, and ultimately compassion, the prophets exemplify what Rohr calls "sacred criticism"--a distinct approach to confronting evil and injustice that acknowledges the wholeness of history, the interconnectedness of every living being, and the reality of a divine and universal love. In this, they set the stage for Jesus, who follows this identical pattern. Drawing on a century of biblical scholarship and written in the warm, pastoral voice that has endeared Rohr to millions, The Tears of Things breathes new life into ancient wisdom. It paves a path of enlightenment for anyone seeking a compassionate way of living in a hurting world.

Richard Rohr and Andrea Ebert's runaway best-seller shows both the basic logic of the Enneagram and its harmony with the core truths of Christian thought from the time of the early Church forward.

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."

For Christians seeking a way of thinking outside of strict dualities, this guide explores methods for letting go of division and living in the present. Drawn from the Gospels, Jesus, Paul, and the great Christian contemplatives, this examination reveals how many of the hidden truths of Christianity have been misunderstood or lost and how to read them with the eyes of the mystics rather than interpreting them through rational thought. Filled with sayings, stories, quotations, and appeals to the heart, specific methods for identifying dualistic thinking are presented with simple practices for stripping away ego and the fear of dwelling in the present.

Richard Rohr viser gjennom denne boka at Kristus er noe annet enn et "etternavn" til Jesus. Kristus er den som har vært fra begynnelsen av og som til alle tider virker gjennom skapelsen for å føre alt og alle til Gud. Rohrs forståelse av Kristus og kristendommen er radikalt inkluderende.

An update to the bestselling Falling Upward from Franciscan Father Richard Rohr In the revised and updated edition of Falling Upward, Richard Rohr seeks to help readers come to terms with the two halves of life. In this book, Rohr teaches us that we can’t understand the meaning of "up" until we have fallen "down." More importantly, Rohr describes what "up" can look like in the second half of life. Most of us tend to think of the second half of life in chronological terms, but this book proposes a different paradigm. Spiritual maturity is found "when we begin to pay attention and seek integrity" through a shift from our "outer task" to the "inner task." What looks like falling down can be experienced as falling upward—and is not necessarily connected with aging. This new edition focuses on practical guidance that you can use to live a life of love and meaning in a world of suffering and challenge. Falling Upward is an invitation to living the gospel and a call to ongoing transformation. Gain a spiritual perspective on the "the common sequencing, staging, and direction of life's arc" and learn how to bring forth your gifts in the second half of lifeGrapple with difficult feelings, fears, and emotions associated with "great love and great suffering"Learn how we "grow spiritually much more by doing it wrong than by doing it right" Understand why so many of us resist falling into the second half of life Readers of Rohrs previous works and those new to the remarkable teachings of this Franciscan priest will find comfort and inspiration in this guide to lifelong spiritual growth.

Meet Abraham, a man caught in a matrix of violence who has the audacity and faith to challenge the very notion of divine violence. Meet Moses, known for leading people on an external journey through the wilderness, but who also models an inner journey toward wholeness. Meet David, who fulfills the classic archetypes of king, warrior, magician, and lover, but also specializes in love, as should we all. And beside them, you'll meet Isaiah, John the Baptist, Peter, Paul, Timothy, John, two Josephs, Elijah, and Jesus. This classic work of Richard Rohr--in this new edition--shows how he uses biblical scholarship, reading the Bible psychologically, always looking for the inner dynamics of the developing character. The Bible is doing its intended work when it helps us live consciously and creatively, growing toward the light. Soul Brothers also gives us a window into Richard Rohr's theology. He is not primarily focused on being religiously correct or theologically fastidious. Rather, he shows how good theology leads us to be more fully human.

When he talked about the Kingdom of God, Jesus was speaking about an utterly different way of relating to human society as we know it. He lays out a blueprint for this new life in his best-known teaching, the Sermon on the Mount. From the Beatitudes onward, the Sermon on the Mount overturns conventional wisdom and traditional power structures, offering a plan for an alternative way of being. Richard Rohr explores the implications of this vision in Jesus’ Alternative Plan. Going through the teachings of the sermon, he explains the historical and cultural context of each verse, and offers guidance for what the sermon means for Christians today. The result is a clear, yet challenging look at the alternative plan laid out by Jesus for all to see. This updated edition of Jesus’ Plan for a New World will inspire Christians who long for a transformative understanding of Jesus’ teachings as they seek the true heart of their faith.

De fleste af os ved, hvem Jesus var. Ved vi også, hvem Kristus er? Det spørgsmål kan synes underligt for de af os, der altid har fået at vide, at Jesus og Kristus er den samme.Men skal vi gribe den store vision, som oprulles for os i Bibelen, har vi brug for både Jesus og Kristus, og vi må lære at skelne mellem dem: Gud har åbenbaret sig på et bestemt tidspunkt i historien i personen Jesus – Kristus er skabelsens igangsætter og har til alle tider været universets inderste, bærende princip. Kristendommen handler om noget endnu større end at tro på Jesus som Guds søn og verdens frelser. At være ”i Kristus” er at komme til erkendelse af, at verden er beåndet og hellig, og at den guddommelige kærlighed gennemtrænger alt og alle – lige fra det mindste atom til den største galakse.Den universelle Kristus er det gudsnærvær, i hvem vi ”lever, røres og er”. I sin banebrydende bog kalder Richard Rohr os ind i denne underfulde virkelighed og viser, hvordan vi kan blive en aktiv del af den Guds kærlighedsstrøm, der flyder gennem verden.
