Publisher's summary

We often think of saints as rare individuals whose gifts far exceed our own, and St. Francis is no exception. But for Fr. Richard Rohr, a prolific author and renowned speaker, the life and teachings of this beloved figure offer an authentic spirituality we can all embody.

On the Art of Letting Go, Fr. Rohr gives us a six session learning course that explores: the surprising richness we discover by simplifying our lives - without taking a vow of poverty; liberation from our self-limiting biases and certitudes; contemplation and action, two key steps toward communing more deeply with the Divine, and more.

I can’t, God Can, I think I’ll let Him

Great listen, wonderful and inspiring call to further action and contemplation. There is an annoying word minimum on this review, which I believe I have finally reached

Very deep and insightful.

I prefer him to read/speak his own work, but this audio seemed a bit off

A Higher and Deeper Level of Living

The way Richard speaks is in a conversational style. I would listen during a morning walk and feel better about life and my direction. Letting Go of many things holding me down and his instruction is very much worth the listen and contemplation, whether one fully agrees with duality and specific teachings. It will help further your own beliefs and commitments to God and self.

Exactly what I need to hear! Can't say enough about this man and his message!

I have had many questions about what I've been taught and have never been able to make sense of many things that I read in the Bible and have been taught in church. Fr Richard has answered those. It feels so good to know what I believe and why. An amazing gift!

Don't give up...keep listening.

The ideas feel so deep at times, yet the reward is worth the strain of trying to understand. A very delightful listen.

Fantastic Book, One I will listen to again & again

Richard has the best, most soothing voice. He's so practical in his wisdom which he extends with such humility. I find that listening while I'm on the way to work or to a business appointment gives me a more grounded frame to work from as his words echo in my mind. I want to put more of these truths into practice. I've already started the book again from the beginning. Wonderful book!

Balm for a divided and confused world

Read by the author. Teachings on non-dual living, by dying to our false self. Deep teachings that show a path out of the attack response. What a wonderful world it could be.

Best explanations I have ever heard

I loved this book more than I imagined I would and needed it even more than I knew. Thank you Fr Rohr for your patience and practiced perspective. It is truly a gift you have shared.
