Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer

by Richard Rohr

Book Overview

Everything Belongs is one of the most popular and best-known books written by Richard Rohr. In this book he offers us the belief that we have no real access to who we really are except in God.

Only when we rest in God can we find the safety, the spaciousness, and the scary freedom to be who we are, all that we are, more than we are, and less than we are. Only when we live and see through God can "everything belong."

Customer Reviews

Highly recommended!

Richard Rohr's "Everything Belongs" is an amazing book that not only encompasses contemplative prayer but also speaks about the christian life in general. I just finished high school and I highly recommend it to other teens (and adults, too) who are tired of all the liberal/conservative christian rhetoric and who are searching for the "Third Way," taking the best from the liberals and the conservatives and building a new outlook on life. I also recommend his "Simplicity: the Art of Living," however I do think one unacquainted with Rohr should start with "Everything Belongs." I'm not joking when I say that Richard Rohr is my role model! Also, if anyone is interested in a more structured approach to learning about contemplative prayer, I highly recommend "Arcmchair Mystic: Easing into Contemplative Prayer" by Mark Thibodeaux, S.J. I can honestly thank Fr. Thibodeaux to introducing me to the wonderful journey of the contemplative lifestyle!
