AN UPDATE TO THE BESTSELLING _FALLING UPWARD_ FROM FRANCISCAN FATHER
RICHARD ROHR
In the revised and updated edition of _Falling Upward,_ Richard Rohr
seeks to help readers come to terms with the two halves of life. In
this book, Rohr teaches us that we can’t understand the meaning of
"up" until we have fallen "down." More importantly, Rohr describes
what "up" can look like in the second half of life.
Most of us tend to think of the second half of life in chronological
terms, but this book proposes a different paradigm. Spiritual maturity
is found "when we begin to pay attention and seek integrity" through a
shift from our "outer task" to the "inner task." What looks like
falling down can be experienced as falling upward--and is not
necessarily connected with aging. This new edition focuses on
practical guidance that you can use to live a life of love and meaning
in a world of suffering and challenge. _Falling Upward_ is an
invitation to living the gospel and a call to ongoing transformation.
* Gain a spiritual perspective on the "the common sequencing,
staging, and direction of life's arc" and learn how to bring forth
your gifts in the second half of life
* Grapple with difficult feelings, fears, and emotions associated
with "great love and great suffering"
* Learn how we "grow spiritually much more by doing it wrong than by
doing it right" Understand why so many of us resist falling into the
second half of life
Readers of Rohrs previous works and those new to the remarkable
teachings of this Franciscan priest will find comfort and inspiration
in this guide to lifelong spiritual growth.
