Understanding the spiritual aspects of aging is as important as
appreciating the systems and biological processes that age us.
Richard Rohr has given us a perfect guide to what he calls the
"further journey," a voyage into the mystery and beauty of healthy
spiritual maturity.
*Mehmet Oz, M.D., host of the 'Dr. Oz Show'*
Offers a refreshing critique of culture – and sometimes
church-based values so often imprisoned in a ‘first life’
sensibility . . . Rohr sees the arc of ageing as bewilderingly
complex, shifting, unquantifiable and tragic in the truest sense of
the word: the art of dying becomes the crowning glory of human life
itself, the only route, it seems, to our eternal home.
*Manna Magazine*
Franciscan priest Rohr is a big–picture kind of thinker when it
comes to characterizing the human journey. This small, provocative
book will make a particularly good gift for a thoughtful,
spiritually open man.
*Publishers Weekly*
The value of this book lies in the way Richard Rohr shares his own
aging process with us in ways that help us be less afraid. We begin
to see that, as we grow older, we are being awakened to deep,
simple, and mysterious things we simply could not see when we were
younger.
*Jim Finley, Merton scholar and author of The Contemplative
Heart*
[On 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*
Rohr and Morrell have given us a liberating and yet totally
orthodox invitation into the life of God. This book is a
celebration of the Trinity, not as bad math (1+1+1=3), and not as
baffling mystery to avoid, but as the divine movement of love. The
Divine Dance is an example of why Rohr has had such a profound
influence on so many Christians seeking to balance reason and
mystery, action and contemplation, not to mention faith and real
life.
*Nadia Bolz-Weber, Pastor, House for All Sinners and Saints,
Author, Accidental Saints: Finding God in All the Wrong People*
Richard Rohr is one of the great spiritual masters of our time,
indeed of any time. His superb new book on the Trinity is vintage
Rohr: clearheaded, provocative, inspiring, challenging, and, most
of all, suffused with the presence of the Holy Spirit. 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, Author, Jesus: A Pilgrimage and Seven Last
Words*
