A coming-of-age travel memoir that probes thorny spiritual
questions while taking the reader on a wild ride from the deep
American South to the Middle East, Europe, and the Far East. Once
the golden girl of her Arkansas town, Natalie finds herself
squeezed under small town shame and rejection after being kicked
out of church for getting a divorce. It's a hard fall off of a
sanctimonious high horse, and religious fundamentalism has left her
feeling broken and stuck. But she can't shake the 'wanderlust woes'
that have plagued her since childhood, so she runs away to the
Middle East. As a mostly-sheltered Southerner, she struggles to
adapt but is determined to be 'at home' in the world. Her journey
is more than a pilgrimage, it's a peregrination: a one-way ticket
to elsewhere in search of the place of her own resurrection. Within
these pages is a suspenseful adventure filled with love, loss,
laughter, tears, and a little bit of scandalous behavior, but at
the heart of it, Natalie walks squarely into the unknown to
confront the secret matters of the soul that we wrestle with at
night.
In this small but masterly-crafted book, Richard Rohr addresses
what Christianity views as the three traditional sources of evil -
the world, the flesh and the devil - to encourage us to look beyond
our personal moral failings and give us principles for resisting
evil on a wider scale. Exploring how Christianity has focused
almost exclusively on individual evil, or the sins of the flesh, he
offers a gripping interpretation of Jesus' teachings and the
writings of Paul the Apostle to show how vital it is that we also
understand the often subtle and well-disguised evil of the world
and the devil. This book offers no easy solutions. Yet, skilfully
distilling half a century of teaching and preaching, The World, the
Flesh and the Devil will leave you with a greater understanding of
evil and its role in the social issues of our time, and better
equipped to recognise and fight it. With his characteristic wisdom
and compassion, Rohr offers us principles for resisting the social
evils pervading our lives, in which we are all complicit, through
Christian contemplation and by reaching out to one another in love.
Across the 30,000 or so varieties of Christianity, believers
universally love Jesus. They have no trouble accepting his humanity
and his divinity. Many express intimations of his close presence in
their lives; a fear of his judgment and wrath as well as a love of
his compassion; a justification for their worldviews and politics
(of all persuasions), and firm convictions about his atonement for
their sins and thus his centrality in their personal salvation.
But
who is Christ?
Is Christ simply Jesus's last name, denoting his
role as saviour of humanity, as messiah? What is Christ? How is his
function or role different from Jesus's? Are we missing something
fundamental because of our overwhelming emphasis on Jesus to the
exclusion of the Christ, or our misunderstanding of what it means
that Jesus was `the Christ'? Could it be that such limited views
are contributing to the slow and painful erosion of Christianity in
western culture, to its insularity and insistence on purity and
exclusion?
These are questions Fr Richard Rohr has been pondering
for many years. In his ecumenical and scripturally grounded books
on contemplation, mysticism and many more topics, he has emphasized
the importance of a large framework for understanding the nature of
'what is' and what lasts, of unity and the ultimate reality of
God's presence in all of creation-Christian and non-Christian,
human and non-human.
Could it be that Jesus, who is the Christ, is
offering us a model and example on how to live inside `this Big
Frame?'

Exodus is the Rosetta stone for unlocking the Old Testament and the
thread of redemption throughout Scripture. The exodus served as the
primary model of God’s idea of redemption, not just in the Old
Testament but even in the New, where it is used as one of the keys to
understanding the meaning of the cross of Christ. Over six sessions,
participants in this Bible study will walk through the first 15
chapters of Exodus. You’ll relive the experience as God hears the cries
of His people and responds by sending a deliverer, ultimately giving us
a pattern for recognizing His work in the world. (6 sessions)
Session Topics:
• Problem
• Deliverer
• Discouragement
• Deliverance
• Redemption
• Worship
We are all addicted in some way. When we learn to identify our
addiction, embrace our brokenness, and surrender to God, we begin
to bring healing to ourselves and our world. In Breathing Under
Water, Richard Rohr shows how the gospel principles in the Twelve
Steps can free anyone from addiction - from an obvious dependence
on alcohol or drugs to the more common but less visible addiction
that we all have to sin. 'A must-read for any person who recognizes
the need to go "inward" on their soul's journey to question what
their relationship is with God, themselves, and others.' The Cord
'Rohr is a perfect writer on the subject of the 12 Steps. His
easy-to-read book is essentially a commentary on each of the steps,
with twelve chapters and a postscript that concisely tackles the
big religious questions of human suffering, suffering with which
addicts and their families are intimately acquainted. Jesus, Rohr
answers, is no stranger to suffering . . . This is a good book for
those in recovery from addiction and those who love them.
Publishers Weekly 'Richard Rohr continues to guide us to greater
wholeness . . . his books have helped countless souls, especially
those who struggle with issues of brokenness and seek
transformation.' National Catholic Reporter

Dié ware verhale van bonatuurlike genesings sal elkeen wat dit lees,
verseker dat jý as gelowige Hom ook kan vra om die onmoontlike te doen.

genesingskrag van God – Hy wat gister, vandag en tot in ewigheid
dieselfde is.
