Richard Rohr Boeken

Het enneagram, een hulpmiddel om zelfkennis te verwerven en andere mensen geestelijk te begeleiden, is al eeuwenoud. De kennis ervan werd lang uitsluitend mondeling doorgegeven en pas in onze tijd in het westen ontdekt. Veel psychologen en theologen zijn van mening dat het enneagram een uitstekend instrument is om mensen te helpen op hun weg naar religieuze en psychische wasdom. Het enneagram is een fascinerend typologisch model met negen karaktertypen van de ziel, dat zijn oorsprong vindt in de oosterse wijsheidstraditie van de soefi's. Toch kan het helpen om tot een diepere en meer oprechte betrekking tot God te komen. Als spiegel van de ziel blijft het enneagram een van de vele wegwijzers. Wegwijzers wijzen de weg; lopen moeten we echter zelf. Dit boek is voor lezers die bereid zijn een boeiende weg naar zelfkennis en ommekeer te volgen.

Spiritual guidance for how to be present in everyday moments.

"In Breathing Under Water, Richard Rohr shows how the gospel principles in the Twelve Steps can free anyone from any addiction-from an obvious dependence on alcohol or drugs to the more common but less visible addiction that we all have to sin"--

In this brilliantly provocative, wise and enthralling book, Richard Rohr urges us towards greater understanding of the Cosmic Christ - 'the eternal union of matter and Spirit from the beginning of time'

In his new book, the author likens True Self to a diamond, buried deep within us, formed under the intense pressure of our lives and needing to be searched for, uncovered, and separated from all the debris of ego that surrounds it. In a sense True Self must, like Jesus, be resurrected, and that process involves not resuscitation but transformation.

Communicates a method of reading Scripture that puts heart and head together, creating a spirituality that is grounded, traditional, and yet frequently 'counter-intuitive' in its mature form.

Discusses the meaning of the Christian Trinity and what it means for one's personal relationship with God.

Richard Rohr focuses his attention on all frames and doorways to the divine--the alternative way of Francis of Assisi. Francis of Assisi, one of the most beloved of all saints, was at once very traditional and entirely revolutionary in the ways of holiness. As a standing paradox, he both stood barefoot on the earth and yet touched the heavens; he was grounded in the church and yet instinctively moved toward the cosmos; he lived happily inside the visible and tangible, and yet both suffered and rejoiced in the invisible. Rohr places the tradition as first practiced by Francis, and subsequently by others, within a context for the uninitiated audience. This is not a historical accounting, but rather a perspective about how the alternative orthodoxy can deepen spiritual life for anyone, whether Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, secular, or spiritual seeker. "Eager to Love" is grounded in the Gospels, the prophets, a broad blend of psychology and theology, and in literature and art, to continue to communicate through all the sources that articulate specific alternative ways of understanding God with us
