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.

Thought provoking

I confess-the first time I tried to listen to this I could not. Rohr's delivery reminded me of sanctimonious theologians of my youth & adulthood. After about a year I tried again and found it resonated with me. I am glad I gave it another listen.

Overcoming for Everyone

As a fan of Father Richard Rohr, I enjoyed this reading and material immensely. But more than that I felt the desire to grow beyond myself and my comfort zone, all the while feeling set free to be more of me through this non-judgemental and all inclusive teaching. Thank you for putting this out into the universe!!!

Deep dive into our soul

What an amazing read and so full of wisdom and truths if we are willing to let go and admit what we hold onto

nourishing, grounding, and inspiring.

Reminded me of why I'm on this path. Helped me realign myself spiritually from a place of humility (versus entitlement). Not a single part of this felt too religious or intuitively false to me.... this work is anchored in what I believe to be timeless, universal spiritual wisdom. A true gift and something I will surely come back to again and again.
