5.0 out of 5 stars It is strictly for those who want to once again "begin over", October 18, 1999

By	Father Joseph leppard ([e-mail]) (Palestine, Texas 75802) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer (Hardcover)

As a Catholic Priest, I have always found Father Richard to be on sound bases; neither going right too far or left too far. I believe he is where the Spirit wants him in this book.

He teaches us through this book that we can always begin each day a new; looking and seeing differently; listening with the listening ear; and seeing with the seeing eye.

I highly recommend this book to all - high school seniors, college students, parents, above all, to priest who have be lack in their own adult education.

It is a book to have on your shelf when doubts about yourself,your faith and church come into conflict. It is a book that is an excellent tool to increase one's spiritual growth in union with God.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rohr's new book demonstrates the wisdom of age!, September 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer (Paperback)

Richard Rohr never leaves you feeling comfortable, and this book continues his prophetic posture. Christianity for Fr. Rohr is a personal committment to the cross, nothing less. His own brush with death,his faith, and age bring him wisdom which is worth contemplating. He leaves me desiring to know more about the Third Way. His best work yet, in my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing, Challenging, Awe-Inspiring!, April 28, 2006

By	Rick Rowland (Glen Allen, Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews

Having just finished this book, the first I've read by Richard Rohr, I have to say that I'm awe-struck. It will take some time for me to reflect on and process what I've read. Note that this isn't a guide on the "how-to's" of comtemplation but, rather, how to live contemplatively. It may challenge you (including your ideas of social justice) and, in the process, help you grow spriritually. If you are open-minded to new perspectives and have an inclusive world view, you may well enjoy it. I highly recommend it, and will definitely read it a second time.
