Product Description
This popular and bestselling book of the renowned Franciscan challenges people to move beyond the comfort of a settled life toward an understanding of themselves that is rooted in their connection to God. Only when they rest in God can they find the certainty and the freedom to become all that they can be. Contemplation has its place at the heart of Christianity, a place that allows people to experience how “everything belongs.”

This review is from: Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer (Paperback)
This book does what so few books have done or are able to do: it says it like it is, namely, that God is.Check it out. You won't regret it.

Refreshing, Challenging, Awe-Inspiring!,
By Rick Rowland - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer (Paperback)
Having just finished this book, the first I've read by Richard Rohr, I have to say that I'm awe-struck. It will take some time for me to reflect on and process what I've read. Note that this isn't a guide on the "how-to's" of comtemplation but, rather, how to live contemplatively. It may challenge you (including your ideas of social justice) and, in the process, help you grow spriritually. If you are open-minded to new perspectives and have an inclusive world view, you may well enjoy it. I highly recommend it, and will definitely read it a second time.

Wonderful spiritual reading,
By John H. Wynne - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer (Paperback)
I am involved in a Men's group and we are currently discussing this book by Richard Rohr. Most of the men in the group are reading this book for the second or third time and it is their all time favorite book on spiritual matters! As for me, I have read numerous books and by some of the great spiritual masters and Richard Rohr's book and delivery speaks to my soul in a way no other book has. This humble franciscan - that some consider a modern day prophet - has the ability to speak clearly to your soul and resonate with the truth that is within you. No other spiritual guide that I have encountered has the ability to put together (in simple language) the historical, biblical, anthropological, psychological, spiritual and even the physical development of the human soul. You will want to read this book several times. It's Richard's classic.

Refreshing spirituality from a mystic-activist,
By Tanner Griffins - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer (Paperback)
This is a book not only about contemplative prayer but also about cultivating a spiritual life. Although geared towards Christians, it carries a truly universal message. I did not know the author before reading this book but I do not doubt that he is a spiritually mature and intelligent person. Who would have known a modern day Catholic priest could be so close to God? Every sentence in this slim book is like a jewel of wisdom, every chapter a refreshing glass of water. If you are not closed minded (either as a fundamentalist Christian or as an Atheist) and are able to hear spiritual truths, you will enjoy this book in your life. One of the rare books to be read more than once, and probably more than twice.
