We grow more spiritually by doing it wrong than by doing it right
In Falling Upward, Fr Richard Rohr offers a new understanding of
one of life's most profound mysteries: how our failing can be the
foundation for our ongoing spiritual growth. Drawing on the wisdom
from time-honoured myths, heroic poems, great thinkers and sacred
religious texts, the author explores the two halves of life to show
that those who have fallen, failed, or 'gone down' are the only
ones who understand 'up'. The heartbreaks, disappointments and
loves of the first half of life are actually stepping stones to the
spiritual joys that the second half has in store for us. 'I thank
God for Richard Rohr's sage-like presence in our culture: I
honestly don't know where I'd be without it.' Brian Draper 'Richard
Rohr at his vintage best: prophetic, pastoral, practical.' Cynthia
Bourgeault 'A voyage into the mystery and beauty of healthy
spiritual maturity.' Mehmet Oz, MD, host of the Dr Oz Show

Challenging and thought provoking

Our book club is currently studying this book, having done a Rohr book earlier in the year. I am absolutely LOVING this one. I find it quite an easy read and every page has really challenging, thought-provoking ideas. Rohr writes with such wisdom and compassion that I keep thinking "why haven't I seen this take on things before?" Thoroughly recommended to all who seek a deeper meaning in life, as well as to those who feel they have "failed".
