Richard Rohr is always a challenge to read - emotionally and intellectually. His words need to be read once, and then read again. This short little book on contemplation is packed full of convicting truths and practical helps in moving towards being present and practicing spirituality. I appreciated his connection with Jesus in each of his practices, as well as the simple (note, I didn't say easy) explanations of each practice and prompt.
I would recommend this book to anyone with some familiarity with contemplative spirituality, as it is a bit of a challenging read. It's also worth noting that Fr. Rohr is an ecumenical teacher, so he does advocate some practices that might be uncomfortable for Christians with a more exclusive way of viewing faith.

Richard Rohr never disappoints. He inspires readers and challenges us to a contemplative life of prayer and surrender. He offers, “The spiritual journey is a constant interplay between moments of awe followed by a general process of surrender to that moment.” He challenges us to Make the connection with what we see, and seek a more mature walk with Jesus. If we can find the awe and wonder he discusses in the book, we can reach a greater spiritual maturity. With many Bible references, along with scholarly citations, the author invites us to Spend time in silence.

I agree that this beautiful book by a well-known Christian author is for the spiritually mature person. There is a rather long introduction and then short (but very deep and thought-provoking) readings that lead us to contemplate the workings of God in our lives. If you are not too far on your spiritual journey you might want to try some of Richard Rohr’s other teachings first.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Highly recommended for fans of Richard Rohr. This book includes brief one-page devotionals; it would be great for daily use or to take on a retreat. I would recommend this for the spiritually mature. For "seekers" or those unfamiliar with Rohr, I would read one of his other books first.
