Job and the Mystery of Suffering: Spiritual Reflections | Richard Rohr

“Many who are working among the suffering…thought they were going as the benefactors but they invariably found themselves being helped and liberated themselves.”

(Just one of the insights from this book that resonates with me. This little book is one of my favorites as well as the book of Job in the Bible is my favorite.)

Simplicity: The Freedom of Letting Go | Richard Rohr

so-so

This is a collection of essays, sermons, & talks that Rohr gave in 1990.
My book group picked this before we really understood what it was, so part of this is just on unmet expectations and not as much what is talked about. I generally agree with Rohr's ideas and genuinely enjoyed the exegetical sermon moments we got, but I wish there had been more of that & more cohesion overall.
Also the quote on the front is completely misleading 👎

Suet624 Good to know. 6d

If Women Rose Rooted: The Power of the Celtic Woman | Sharon Blackie

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Part memoir and nature writing this also includes some Celtic mythology and fairy folklore. It should come with a warning “might make you run away to Ireland, Scotland or Wales.”

Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom | John O'Donohue

“The divine has such passionate creativity and instinct for the fully inhabited life. If you allow yourself to be the person that you are, then everything will come into rhythm. If you live the life you love, you will receive shelter and blessings. Sometimes the great famine of blessing in and around us derives from the fact that we are not living the life we love, rather we are living the life that is expected of us.”

The Time Is Now: A Call to Uncommon Courage | Joan Chittister

so-so

The information is organized in a logical way. It lacks the inspirational tone I expected. It feels more like a check list.

Suet624 That‘s too bad. 2w

CatLass007 I think I have this book, but I‘m not sure. It may be on a list of books. I want because I‘ve definitely seen the cover. I noticed Anam Cara in the background, a book that I know I have. Enjoy! 3w
