"Rohr, a Franciscan priest and internationally
known speaker, was invited to Germany in 1990 to present a series of sermons on
the spiritual life. This book is a compilation of some of those talks. Rohr
believes that the Christian Church and its people need to take more chances in
their relationships with God and the work they do for him. He expresses a
concern that the church is of ten paralyzed by its need for control and constant
reflection. Promoting an active faith, with an active commitment in the world,
he encourages his audience to live a daring life, trusting in God and acting
upon that trust, without devoting large amounts of time to analyzing the actions
that are taken. While some of Rohr's ideas are not new, there is much food for
thought here. Most Christians should find this interesting reading."
