Publisher's summary

We often think of saints as rare individuals whose gifts far exceed our own, and St. Francis is no exception. But for Fr. Richard Rohr, a prolific author and renowned speaker, the life and teachings of this beloved figure offer an authentic spirituality we can all embody.

On the Art of Letting Go, Fr. Rohr gives us a six session learning course that explores: the surprising richness we discover by simplifying our lives - without taking a vow of poverty; liberation from our self-limiting biases and certitudes; contemplation and action, two key steps toward communing more deeply with the Divine, and more.

Excellent!

The book exemplifies a mind opened to the unfathomable unknowningness of God. "Knowing" God will never end ... now or for ever.

loved every page....very clear and confirming.

Complex matters are written in a clear, easy to understand manner. I particularly enjoy reading Richard Rohr's books for their insight and honesty. He has a great ability to make the deep truth of God accessible to his readers.

Finally a truth about the teachings of Jesus

Richard Rohr shares his experiences and his wisdom about Jesus teachings from a place that resonates as truth in my heart. I love St Francis and have always been moved by his life. To parallel the great teachers like St Francis and John of the cross and St Theresa and Jesus to live and love the life that we are given is a true blessing! Richard Rohr, I thank you for this gift!

Outstanding

A gentle but effective journey to understanding mature faith and trust in the Love of God and the power of forgiveness. . . holding the tension of paradox within the Cloud of Unknowing while embracing the reality that every thing and every one is equally loved as grace . . .
