Is there really any hope for a spiritual way of living that actually works?
Admiration, comfort, love, power, success, pleasure, escape, control: we’re all addicted to something, whether we realize it or not.
In this deeply heartfelt book, author John Ortberg offers a guide for transformation when we know something needs to change but we can’t do it on our own. Rooted in the teachings of Jesus and using the framework of AAs 12 steps as a guide, Ortberg offers all of us a freeing roadmap for:
- Giving up our exhausting and fruitless efforts to fix, manage, and control our own lives
- Distinguishing between when willpower is essential and when it is futile
- Discovering how God can do for us what we can’t do for ourselves, and
- Living authentically, joyfully and in communion with God and other people
In Steps, find what’s needed to experience a new freedom, a new fellowship and a new happiness no matter our circumstances.
'Rohr and Boland prove to be compassionate, encouraging mentors . .
. Christians looking to deepen their spiritual practice will find
rich material and wise guidance here.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY In his
landmark book, The Universal Christ, Richard Rohr articulated a
transformative view of what it means to recognize Jesus as 'Christ'
- as a portrait of God's constant, unfolding work in the world, and
in us. Now, in partnership with Patrick Boland, a psychotherapist
and member of the Center for Action and Contemplation community,
Rohr invites us to experience God's work in practice through a
series of 40 reflections. Each reflection in Every Thing Is Sacred
draws on a key passage of The Universal Christ, pairing this with
prayers, journal prompts and contemplative exercises to help us
encounter the truth that the presence and compassion of God are all
around us. A wonderfully encouraging read, filled with Richard
Rohr's characteristic wisdom, this devotional book is perfect for
anyone who wants to make the liberating message of The Universal
Christ part of their everyday lives. It is also suitable for
newcomers to Rohr and those looking for reflections and meditations
that will increase their awareness of God in the world and in us.
Whether read daily for Lent 2021 or explored over the course of a
year, Every Thing Is Sacred is a hope-filled journey into the love
at the heart of all things.
