Falling Upward

Falling Upward

A Spirituality For The Two Halves Of Life

BY RICHARD ROHR

Brief Description:
Most of us tend to think of the second half of life as largely about getting old, dealing with health issues, and letting go of life, but the whole thesis of this book is exactly the opposite. What looks like falling down can largely be experienced as "falling upward." With rare insight, Rohr takes us on a journey to give us an understanding of how the heartbreaks, disappointments, and first loves of life are actually stepping stones to the spiritual joys that the second half of life has in store for us.

Jossey Bass 2011 198 PP. Cloth
