Come as you are 

Current Topic

The Naked Now  by Richard Rohr

The Naked Now is a deep breath of fresh air.  Richard Rohr invites us, all of us, to slow down and to find God, or be found by God, in all the places we never thought to look.” ——Jim Wallis,

 

Learning

to See as the

Mystics See

-Richard Rohr

 

Through the stories, meditations and tested practices in this book, Richard Rohr will help you:

: Awaken you desire for God

: Free yourself from the fears that can cripple you

: Connect to the joy already within you

: Transform yourself and inspire others

: See as the mystics see

: Live in full awareness of the Naked Now
