New Releases by Richard Rohr

Het enneagram is een eeuwenoude methode om tot diepere zelfkennis te komen, die lange tijd mondeling werd doorgegeven en door het basisboek van Richard Rohr en Andreas Ebert in het Westen grote weerklank kreeg. Het onderscheidt negen karaktertypen die je meer inzicht geven in je talenten, je innerlijke barrières en je diepste drijfveren. Dit basisboek, waarvan wereldwijd al meer dan een half miljoen exemplaren werden verkocht, biedt een gedetailleerde en verhelderende beschrijving van de negen karaktertypes. De auteurs gaan bovendien dieper in op hoe deze types zich onderling verhouden en laten zien hoe je het enneagram als wegwijzer in je leven kunt gebruiken. In het boek is ook de Typetest van Markus Becker opgenomen, waarmee je aan de hand van een concrete vragenlijst kunt bepalen welk type bij jou dominant aanwezig is.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s most influential spiritual thinkers, a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called “Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our lives. “Anyone who strives to put their faith into action will find encouragement and inspiration in the pages of this book.”—Melinda Gates In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’s last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center. Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus’s life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us, and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.

This perennial book features daily meditations, each written by Rohr and adapted or excerpted from his many written and recorded works. The meditations are arranged around seven themes: Methodology: Scripture as validated by experience, and experience as validated by tradition, are good scales for one''s spiritual worldview Foundation: If God is Trinity and Jesus is the face of God, then it is a benevolent universe. God is not someone to be afraid of, but is the Ground of Being and on our side. Frame: There is only one Reality. Any distinction between natural and supernatural, sacred and profane is a bogus one. Ecumenical: Everything belongs and no one needs to be scapegoated or excluded. Evil and illusion only need to be named and exposed truthfully, and they die in exposure to the light. Transformation: The separate self is the problem, whereas most religion and most people make the "shadow self" the problem. This leads to denial, pretending, and projecting instead of real transformation into the Divine. Process: The path of descent is the path of transformation. Darkness, failure, relapse, death, and woundedness are our primary teachers, rather than ideas or doctrines. Goal: Reality is paradoxical and complementary. Non-dual thinking is the highest level of consciousness. Divine union, not private perfection, is the goal of all religion. Yes, and...is an excellent daily prayer resource for fans of Richard Rohr''s work, and those who are looking for an alternate way to live out their faith--a way centered in the open-minded search for spiritual relevance of a transforming nature.

導言 //也許本書最關乎的，乃是「看」──但這「看」遠多於僅僅「望」，因為這「看」包含辨識，和伴隨而來的欣賞。這正是默觀中的「看」，也是任何真正內心對話的關鍵。默觀思維（contemplative mind）並非告訴我們看甚麼，而是教導我們怎樣看眼前的事物。 默觀讓人看見事物在整全中蘊涵的真理。默觀是精神的操練與恩賜，使我們得以抽離──甚至在神經系統方面抽離──對慣性思維的沉溺，也抽離對左腦的過度倚賴──左腦總是覺得自己在掌管一切。默觀令人不再相信一己淺薄的二分法思維（將事情化約為兩個選擇，然後通常認同其中一方），並逐漸察覺二分法那種管中窺豹之狹隘現實觀的乏善可陳。事實上，二分法的結果必然是膚淺，不然就是愚昧。惟獨默觀者或具深刻直覺者，才會勇於涉足更廣闊更開豁的領域。也許正因如此，愛因斯坦（Albert Einstein）才有這句名言：「想像比知識重要。知識有制限，想像卻可在瞬間漫游天地。」 但我們怎樣才可學得這種默觀思維──這種深渺、奧妙、生機勃勃的觀看現實的方法呢？我們又怎麼與現實同在呢？為甚麼這種思維不是生而有之呢？事實上，這種思維的確會出現片刻—當人在極愛或極痛之中──只是這種眼界大開的時刻總不長久。我們很快又會退回二分法的分析架構，以一己判斷重新掌舵。祈禱操練──默觀──不過是一種方法，幫助人在長時期及各種境況中，保存極愛與極痛的果子。而我們必須勤於操練默觀；老實說，人生就是不息的操練。// ｜作者簡介｜ 羅爾（Richard Rohr ），「普世教會合一運動」旗手，倡議基督教密契主義（Christian mysticism）和永恆傳統（Perennial Tradition）中的普世覺醒。他是美國新墨西哥州方濟會的司鐸、「行動與默觀中心」（Center for Action and Contemplation）創辦人。他的教導建基於默觀與虛己的操練、前衞的關愛行動，尤其致力服事弱勢社羣。羅爾著作等身，包括《屬天舞蹈》（The Divine Dance）、《水中呼吸》（Breathing Under Water）、《不朽的鑽石》（Immortal Diamond）、《踏上生命的第二旅程》（Falling Upward）。更多關於羅爾及「行動與默觀中心」的資訊，可參https://cac.org。

Richard Rohr, Franziskanerpater und Weisheitslehrer, umkreist in seinem neuen Buch das Geheimnis der Dreieinigkeit Gottes - Gott Vater, Jesus Christus und der Heilige Geist. Er entdeckt: Die christlichen Wüstenväter verwendeten dafür das griechische Wort perichoresis, das sich am besten mit "tanzen" übersetzen lässt. Bei allen tiefgreifenden Gedanken, die die Mönche sich damals machten, war das beste Bild, das sie für das Wesen Gottes finden konnten, das eines Tanzes, der niemals enden wird, der wie ein Strom dahinfließt. Aber Gott ist kein Tänzer. Er ist der Tanz selbst. Und lädt alle ein, ein Teil davon zu werden, wenn wir mit ihm im Einklang leben. Wer sich auf dieses Bild einlässt, wird durch das neue Buch von Richard Rohr viele Impulse für ein intensives, erfüllendes Leben mit Gott entdecken.

Wir sind nicht einfach das "Ego", in dem sich Normen und Rollenerwartungen an uns verdichten. Wie ein Diamant im Gestein eingeschlossen lebt in der Tiefe unseres Herzens unser Wahres Selbst. Spiritualität ist der Weg, auf dem wir in den Erfahrungen unseres Lebens unser Wahres Selbst zum Vorschein bringen. Das christliche Bild dieser Selbst-Findung heißt "Auferstehung". Richard Rohr, prophetische Stimme für spirituell suchende Menschen, zeigt eindrucksvoll: Es lohnt sich, das Wahre Selbst zu entdecken und es zu leben. "Nenne es Seele, das Unbewusste, Tiefenbewusstsein oder die Einwohnung des Heiligen Geistes. Oder nenne es Nichts. Es bedarf nicht des richtigen Namens und auch nicht der richtigen Religion, um sich zu zeigen. Es braucht nicht einmal unser Verstehen, keine Wörter zum Geleit. Es ist einfach da. Und zeigt sich am ehesten, wenn wir still sind oder verliebt. Oder beides. Ich nenne es: das Wahre Selbst. Wenn du diesem Wahren Selbst begegnest – und ein einziges Mal ist genug –, dann weicht das Falsche Selbst von ganz allein. Aber dazu braucht es fast dein ganzes Leben – so wie bei Jesus." RICHARD ROHR

¿Y si cambiar nuestra percepción de Dios tiene el potencial de cambiarlo todo? La Trinidad es la doctrina central del sistema de creencias cristiano. Sin embargo, a menudo nos dicen que no debemos intentar entenderla, porque es un “misterio”. La Danza Divina explora ese misterio, demostrando cómo una concepción más profunda del Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo transformará nuestra relación con Dios, y renovará nuestras vidas. Lo que comentan sobre La Danza Divina: Encontrando el punto justo donde la ciencia contemporánea se encuentra con el misticismo antiguo, y la teología se encuentra con la poesía, La Danza Divina dibuja una hermosa coreografía para una vida bien vivida. En nuestro gozo o nuestro dolor, la verdadera vida siempre es relacional, un fluir, un baile. (Y siempre tuvo esa intención.) —Bono, U2 Este es Richard al máximo, haciendo lo que hace mejor: mostrándole cómo las mejores ideas para el futuro han estado aquí ya, en la tradición de Jesús, todo el tiempo… ¡Nuestro franciscano favorito lo hizo de nuevo! —Rob Bell, Love Wins Richard Rohr es uno de los grandes maestros espirituales de nuestro tiempo, de hecho, de cualquier tiempo… Por supuesto, la Trinidad siempre será un profundo misterio, pero después de leer el libro del Padre Rohr, usted lo experimentará como un misterio que puede transformar su vida, y lo hará. —James Martin, SJ, Jesus: A Pilgrimage What if changing our perception of God has the potential to change everything? The Trinity is the central doctrine of our entire Christian belief system, and yet we’re often told that we shouldn’t attempt to understand it because it is a “mystery.” The Divine Dance explores that mystery, demonstrating how a deeper conception of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit will transform our relationship with God and renew our lives. What people are saying about The Divine Dance: Finding the sweet spot where contemporary science meets ancient mysticism, and theology meets poetry, The Divine Dance sketches a beautiful choreography for a life well–lived. In our joy or our pain, true life is always relational, a flow, a dance. (And was always meant to be.) ―Bono, U2 This is Richard in peak form, doing what he does best: showing you how the best ideas for the future have actually been here, in the Jesus tradition, the whole time.… Our favorite Franciscan has done it again! —Rob Bell, Love Wins Richard Rohr is one of the great spiritual masters of our time, indeed of any time.… The Trinity will of course always remain a profound mystery, but after reading Father Rohr’s book, you will experience it as a mystery that can, and will, transform your life. —James Martin, SJ, Jesus: A Pilgrimage

What if changing our perception of God has the potential to change everything? God is not what you think. Visions of an angry, distant, moral scorekeeper or a supernatural Santa Claus handing out cosmic lottery tickets to those who attend the right church or say the right prayer dominate our culture. For many others, God has become irrelevant or simply unbelievable. In The Divine Dance, Fr. Richard Rohr (with Mike Morrell) points readers to an unlikely opening beyond this divinity impasse: the at-times forgotten, ancient mystery of the Trinity—God as utterly one, yet three. Drawing from Scripture, theology, and the deepest insights of mystics, philosophers, and sages throughout history, Fr. Rohr presents a compelling alternative to aloof and fairytale versions of God: One God, belovedly in communion, as All-Vulnerable, All-Embracing, and All-Given to you and me. The Divine Dance makes accessible and practicable the Christian tradition''s most surprising gift... God as Community...as Friendship...as Dance. Are you ready to join in?

Inspirationen zu mehr Gesundheit - das Praxisbuch von Richard Rohr Richard Rohr gilt als einer der originellsten spirituellen Lehrer unserer Zeit. Mit seinem Buch Zwölf Schritte der Heilung hat er gezeigt, dass jeder Mensch auf irgendeine Weise abhängig ist. Inspiriert vom Zwölf-Schritte-Programm vieler Selbsthilfegruppen beschreibt Rohr den Weg aus dieser Abhängigkeit. Dieses Praxisbuch greift seine Schritte und Überlegungen auf, verbindet sie mit weiterführenden Gedanken und bietet außerdem konkrete Ratschläge, Fragestellungen sowie Platz für eigene Notizen. Es ist ein spiritueller Reiseführer zu einem heilen Selbst und zur eigenen Mitte. "Damit wir uns selbst der Heilung überlassen, müssen in uns drei Räume gleichzeitig offen werden: der eigensinnige Kopf, das verschlossene Herz und der verteidigungsbereite Körper. Diese Öffnung ist spirituelle Arbeit – echte Arbeit. Ja, letzten Endes ist es die Arbeit einer Macht, ›größer als wir selbst‹, die zu größerer Helligkeit und tieferer Einsicht führt." (Richard Rohr)

Todos somos adictos de alguna manera. Cuando aprendemos a identificar nuestra adicción, a abrazar nuestra condición quebrantada y a rendirnos a Dios, empezamos a conseguir que la curación venga a nosotros y a nuestro mundo. En ''Respirar bajo el agua'', Richard Rohr muestra cómo los principios evangélicos de los doce pasos pueden liberar a cualquiera de cualquier adicción, desde una obvia dependencia del alcohol o las drogas a esas adicción más corrientes pero menos visibles que todos tenemos en el día a día.

In einer von Unruhe und Schnelllebigkeit bestimmten Welt betont der renommierte Autor Richard Rohr, dass wir Gott in der Kontemplation, in der Tiefe der Stille begegnen können. Spirituelles Schweigen ist mehr als die bloße Abwesenheit von Lärm oder eine Pause zwischen Gesprächen: Es erweist sich als lebendige Gegenwart, die uns einlädt, dualistische Strukturen zu überwinden, unser wahres Selbst zu erkennen und den Mitmenschen voll Liebe und Mitgefühl zu begegnen. Richard Rohr zeigt uns den Weg, wie wir der Stille lauschen und inneren Frieden finden können.

For Christians seeking a way of thinking outside of strict dualities, this guide explores methods for letting go of division and living in the present. Drawn from the Gospels, Jesus, Paul, and the great Christian contemplatives, this examination reveals how many of the hidden truths of Christianity have been misunderstood or lost and how to read them with the eyes of the mystics rather than interpreting them through rational thought. Filled with sayings, stories, quotations, and appeals to the heart, specific methods for identifying dualistic thinking are presented with simple practices for stripping away ego and the fear of dwelling in the present.

Advent is not about a sentimental waiting for the Baby Jesus --Richard Rohr Advent is a time to focus our expectation and anticipation on the adult Christ, the Cosmic Christ, who challenges us to empty ourselves, to lose ourselves, to surrender. Preparing for Christmas offers daily meditations, prayers, Scripture readings, and questions for reflection for each day of Advent.

The Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous is America''s most significant and authentic contribution to the history of spirituality, says Richard Rohr. He makes a case that the Twelve Steps relate well to Christian teaching and can rescue people who are drowning in addiction and may not even realize it. To survive the tidal wave of compulsive behavior and addiction, Christians must learn to breathe under water and discover God''s love and compassion. In this exploration of Twelve Step spirituality, Rohr identifies the Christian principles in the Twelve Steps, connecting The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous with the gospel. He draws on talks he has given for over twenty years to people in recovery and those who counsel and live with people with addictive behavior. Rohr offers encouragement for becoming interiorly alive and inspiration for making one''s life manageable for dealing with the codependence and dysfunction (sin) rampant in our society.

The New Testament is sometimes called the New Covenant, signifying a new relationship between humanity and God. From the viewpoint of salvation history, the New Testament is the completion and the culmination of the Old Testament. In terms of length, it is only a small portion of the entire Bible, and yet it is that portion which brings it all together. Richard Rohr and Joseph Martos look at the many ways salvation themes are proclaimed by the various authors and literary styles of the New Testament.

“You are about to set out on a great adventure!” Richard Rohr told his original listeners when The Great Themes of Scripture talks were recorded for St. Anthony Messenger Press in 1973. This first volume offers newcomers to the Hebrew Scriptures a feel for their overall religious themes. But for all readers this book uniquely sounds the call of the Lord and invites response in a way that will touch lives as deeply as Rohr''s original talks.

Dissolve the distractions of ego to find our authentic selves in God In his bestselling book Falling Upward, Richard Rohr talked about ego (or the False Self) and how it gets in the way of spiritual maturity. But if there''s a False Self, is there also a True Self? What is it? How is it found? Why does it matter? And what does it have to do with the spiritual journey? This book likens True Self to a diamond, buried deep within us, formed under the intense pressure of our lives, that must be searched for, uncovered, separated from all the debris of ego that surrounds it. In a sense True Self must, like Jesus, be resurrected, and that process is not resuscitation but transformation. Shows how to navigate spiritually difficult terrain with clear vision and tools to uncover our True Selves Written by Father Richard Rohr, the bestselling author of Falling Upward Examines the fundamental issues of who we are and helps us on our path of spiritual maturity Immortal Diamond (whose title is taken from a line in a Gerard Manley Hopkins poem) explores the deepest questions of identity, spirituality, and meaning in Richard Rohr''s inimitable style.

A valuable new companion journal for the best-selling Falling Upward In Falling Upward, Fr. Richard Rohr seeks to help readers understand the tasks of the two halves of life and to show them that those who have fallen, failed, or "gone down" are the only ones who understand "up." The Companion Journal helps those who have (and those who have not) read Falling Upward to engage more deeply with the questions the book raises. Using a blend of quotes, questions for individual and group reflection, stories, and suggestions for spiritual practices, it provides a wise guide for deepening the spiritual journey. . . at any time of life. Explains why the second half of life can and should be full of spiritual richness Offers tools for spiritual growth and greater understanding of the ideas in Falling Upward Richard Rohr is a regular contributing writer for Sojourners and Tikkun magazines This important companion to Falling Upward is an excellent tool for exploring the counterintuitive messages of how we grow spiritually.

Many, if not most, people and institutions remain in ''the first half of life'' forever, preoccupied with establishing their identity, climbing, achieving, and performing. If you knew there was a further journey, wouldn''t you choose to do the ''first half'' quite differently? The further journey involves challenges, mistakes, loss of control, even ''necessary suffering'', because that is how we grow. This message of falling down and in fact moving up is the most counter-intuitive message in most of the world religions, including and most especially Christianity. We grow spiritually much more by doing it wrong than by doing it right. The Companion Journal helps those who have (and those who have not) read Falling Upward to engage more deeply with the questions the book raises. Using a blend of quotes, questions for individual and group reflection, stories, and suggestions for spiritual practices, it provides a wise guide for deepening the spiritual journey - at any time of life.
