Rohr helps us look beyond the birdbath image of the saint to remind us of the long tradition founded on his revolutionary, radical, and life-changing embrace of the teachings of Jesus. He was, as Rohr notes, “a master of ‘making room for it’ and letting go of that which was tired or empty.” Francis found an “alternative way” to follow Jesus, one that disregarded power and privilege and held fast to the narrow path of the Gospel. The loving, inclusive life and preaching of Francis of Assisi make him a recognizable and beloved saint across many faith traditions. Francis of Assisi is one of the most beloved of all saints. Globally recognized as an ecumenical teacher, Richard Rohr started out—and remains—a Franciscan friar. Both traditional and entirely revolutionary, he was a paradox. He was at once down to earth and reaching toward heaven, grounded in the rich history of the Church while moving toward a new understanding of the world beyond. Rohr draws on Scripture, insights from psychology, and literary and artistic references, to weave together an understanding of the tradition as first practiced by St. Francis. Rohr shows how his own innovative theology is firmly grounded in the life and teaching of this great saint and provides a perspective on how his alternative path to the divine can deepen and e
This book may indeed help re-ignite the Franciscan revolution in our 21st Century." —Robert Lentz, O.F.M. "A marvelous, companionable book for those eager to love as Francis and Clare loved.

It is a wisdom book packed with insight, compassion, and love – a mellowing and deepening of a modern prophetic voice." —Murray Bodo, O.F.M., author, Francis and Jesus. Richard has woven a masterful tapestry that combines ancient sources with cutting edge experience and thou

The American evangelical church has little resemblance to Christ - its own huge log in the eye - even as it's continually buttressed its own power and wealth, in part by cas. Vintage Rohr Vintage Rohr! His latest book is a strong demonstration of how and why one can live and pray inside and on the edge of the institutional church and be in full communion with her, just as Francis did. Rohr is one of those prophetic voices that joins the chorus of so many deeply contemplative Catholic Christians from the desert fathers to this 21st century calling us all to greater authenticity. It is a call to a richer and fuller communion with God . "I enjoy his effort to continue to love many things from" according to Robert D. Harris. I have read several books by Richard Rohr now. I enjoy his effort to continue to love many things from the past about his religious faith while trying to find new and fresh ways of expressing faith in a changing world. He walks a tight rope of remaining open to the people who want nothing to change about their faith and those to want a new insight to ponder. I think he does both with skill. This book about the faith of the founders of his religious
