The Divine Dance is a superb book from bestselling author and spiritual teacher Richard Rohr, exploring the doctrine of the Trinity and how it can transform our relationship with God.
Richard Rohr (Author)
FR RICHARD ROHR is a Franciscan priest of the New Mexico Province.
He founded the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque,
New Mexico in 1986, where he presently serves as Founding Director.
An internationally known speaker, he teaches on such themes as
adult Christian spirituality, men’s spirituality, and politics and
spirituality, and has published many books, including Falling
Upward and Immortal Diamond (SPCK, 2012 and 2013 respectively).
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.)

The Divine Dance is not only Richard Rohr’s best book; it’s the
best book on the Trinity I’ve ever read. Tender, human, both
pastorally and psychologically brilliant, this is the work Rohr was
born to do . . . An instant spiritual classic.
*Jonathan Martin, Author, How to Survive a Shipwreck*
Rohr and Morrell have given us a liberating and yet totally
orthodox invitation into the life of God. This book is a
celebration of the Trinity, not as bad math (1+1+1=3), and not as
baffling mystery to avoid, but as the divine movement of love. The
Divine Dance is an example of why Rohr has had such a profound
influence on so many Christians seeking to balance reason and
mystery, action and contemplation, not to mention faith and real
life.

The Divine Dance invites you into the heart of Christian mysticism:
the lavish ever-expanding love of God. Richard Rohr and Mike
Morrell show how the triune God is more than a philosophical
concept—the Trinity is a joyous celebration of love and life, and
we are all called to participate.

A truly vital re-presentation of the fundamental truths that lie at
the heart of the Christian gospel for a new age. Rohr and Morrell
have written a soon-to-be classic that will re-enchant many with
the beauty of the Christian tradition while causing us to expand
and explore beyond the boundaries of rigid religiosity . . . a
must-read for every Christian in the twenty-first century.
*Brandan Robertson, Author, Nomad: A Spirituality for Travelling
Light*
With the wisdom of C.S. Lewis and the accessibility of Rob Bell,
Richard Rohr and Mike Morrell unpack our long-lingering questions
about God, love, grace, and forgiveness, all through the lens of
Trinitarian spirituality. This isn’t to say that this book answers
every question. Like all good mystics, Rohr and Morrell circle our
questions, reveling in the mystery of all that is. Join them. Stand
with them "under the waterfall of God’s infinite mercy, and know
that you are loved."

Richard Rohr is one of the great spiritual masters of our time,
indeed of any time. His superb new book on the Trinity is vintage
Rohr: clearheaded, provocative, inspiring, challenging, and, most
of all, suffused with the presence of the Holy Spirit. 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, Author, Jesus: A Pilgrimage and Seven Last
Words*
Richard Rohr has once again given us a remarkable book on a
subject that most Christians haven’t really thought about or
prayed about, and yet we all agree is at the very heart of
Christianity . . . [Richard's] heart is to reform Christianity from
the bottom up by making clear the very shape of God, and in The
Divine Dance he does just that . . the wisdom contained within
these pages will enable us all to join in the dance of life!

Reawakening, christianhealingmin.org*
More and more people are struggling with conventional
understandings of God, like the big white guy on a throne with a
long beard and a fistful of swords and lightning bolts by which you
(or your enemies) might be smitten at any moment if you don’t think
or act correctly. For many, the concept of Trinity simply triples
their God-problems. But in The Divine Dance, Richard Rohr and Mike
Morrell explore the Trinity as a pathway beyond problematic
understandings of God. This beautifully-written book can do far
more than change your troubled thoughts about God: it can change
your way of thinking about God entirely.
*Brian D. McLaren, Activist, speaker, and author, We Make the Road
by Walking, brianmclaren.net*
This is Christianity, awake. In The Divine Dance, Fr. Rohr and Mike
Morrell inspire the mind and open the heart by exploring how a more
robust Trinitarian theology can enliven faith in a way that’s
rooted not only in Christian tradition, but in wisdom, experience,
and love.
*Michael Gungor, Musician and author, The Crowd, the Critic, and
the Muse, GungorMusic.com*
An inspiring book whose richness is possibly best savoured when
read intermittently, allowing it to become part of one’s own
process of prayer.
