Every Thing Is Sacred: 40 Practices and Reflections...

”˜Rohr and Boland prove to be compassionate, encouraging mentors... Christians looking to deepen their spiritual practice will find rich material and wise guidance here.' Publisher's Weekly.

In his landmark book, The Universal Christ, Richard Rohr articulated a transformative view of what it means to recognize Jesus as 'Christ' ”“ as a portrait of God's constant, unfolding work in the world, and in us.

Now, in partnership with Patrick Boland, a psychotherapist and member of the Centre for Action and Contemplation community, Rohr invites us to experience God's work in practice through a series of 40 reflections.

Each reflection in Every Thing Is Sacred draws on a key passage of The Universal Christ, pairing this with prayers, journal prompts and contemplative exercises to help us encounter the truth that the presence and compassion of God are all around us.

A wonderfully encouraging read, filled with Richard Rohr's characteristic wisdom, this devotional book is perfect for anyone who wants to make the liberating message of The Universal Christ part of their everyday lives. It is also suitable for newcomers to Rohr and those looking for reflections and meditations that will increase their awareness of God in the world and in us.

Whether read daily for Lent or explored over the course of a year, Every Thing Is Sacred is a hope-filled journey into the love at the heart of all things.
