"Richard Rohr is one of the wisest people on the planet (other than
my soon-to-be-wife). In a world of shallow spirituality, Richard
takes us deep--deep into ourselves and deep into God. He has been a
close friend and mentor to me over the years, but he has also been
raising up generations of contemplative activists--Christians who
pray and act for an end to the ugly things in this world like
poverty, war, and arrogance. Richard is a spiritual grandfather.
His life and teaching must make Francis of Assisi, and Jesus,
smile." --Shane Claiborne, author, activist, and recovering sinner,
www.thesimpleway.org
"Richard Rohr describes how to transform rather than transmit the
pain in our life, a lesson that we all desperately need to hear."
--Dr. Mehmet Oz, The Dr Oz Show
"Father Richard Rohr has gathered innumerable luminous jewels of
wisdom during a lifetime of wrestling with self, soul, God, the
church, the ancient sacred stories of initiation and its modern
realities, and the wilder and darker dimensions of the human
psyche. His new book, On the Threshold of Transformation, is a
great and gracious gift for men--contemporary men longing for
lanterns on the perilous path to male maturity, a path that reveals
secrets of personal destiny only after descending into the swamps
of woundedness, shattering emotion, and personal demons. A rare,
true elder in these fractured times, Richard Rohr opens the way
again for men to sacrifice the juvenile life of win/lose contests
and to eventually uncover their souls--their authentic and unique
way of participating in and joyously contributing to this
miraculous world." --Bill Plotkin, Ph.D., author of Soulcraft and
Nature and the Human Soul
"This immensely helpful book . . . provides the inspiration to
catapult readers into the adventure of male spirituality. As usual,
Rohr delivers a rich treasure trove of wisdom." --Frederick and
Mary Ann Brussat, www.SpiritualityandPractice.com
"To the list of amazing things about Richard Rohr add this: that in
a paragraph or two, in a short daily reading, he can express an
idea that stays with you all day and nudges you one step closer to
becoming the person you're meant to be. It's written for men, but
everyone will benefit from these 366 nuggets of wisdom and nudges
toward transformation." --Brian McLaren, author of A New Kind of
Christianity (brianmclaren.net)
