Overview

In one of the opening meditations of On the Threshold of Transformation, male spirituality expert Richard Rohr writes, "We need to fail, to fall, to jump into the central mystery of our own existence, or we'll have no way of finding our true path." Those words summarize the central idea of all 365 meditations in this daily guide for men: that wholeness and holiness can best be found through some form of suffering or letting go.

With nearly every man dealing with some form of hurt in his life, this book readily acknowledges the pain and deals with it directly, unapologetically, and redemptively. While much of our culture today would have us believe that failure and suffering are inherently bad, Fr. Rohr helps men see that pain--in whatever form it takes--is a primary doorway through which they can pass to reach their authentic, best selves, which is where they will truly encounter God.

Ultimately this book helps men, over the manageable timeline of one year, learn how to transform their pain so they don't pass it on. With Fr. Rohr as their guide, men will find the healing that leads to wholeness. |||This book is sold in the US by Sony Electronics Inc. |||This book is sold in Canada by Sony Electronics Inc.
