About this listen

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.

Every so often you find a book that points you in the direction of the heart of healthy spirituality. This is one of those books.

I actually read (listened to) it first 3 years ago and got sooo much from it then. However, as I listened to it again recently, like really good wine, it tasted even better with age. I guess it’s because I’ve had time to test the truths in this book and I can this is the real deal.

If you’re looking to go deeper; if a part of your heart recognises that there’s something more, then I encourage you to be open to the wisdom in this book.

Simple, orthodox, challenging, profound. Fr Richard Rohr’s reading of this is like being led on a private retreat.

At first I was somewhat put off by the biblical and Christian references, given I'm not religious. But once I'd 'let go' of that issue it was a pleasure to immerse myself in Richard Rohr's half century of experience and wisdom. A blessed treat for the open hearted.

Rohr's gentle, conversational tone nonetheless contains wisdom that could change your life if you let it. If you want your life to be more centred and less frenetic then this is the book for you, no matter what faith group you belong to.

This is truly a great read. Challenged me on notions that I have held since I was a child. simple in its presentation yet full of wisdom. Read in a very calm voice by Fr. Rohr who is utterly believable to me. a good resource for Christians who want to grow in their faith.

Religiously iconoclastic, liberating, counterintuitive, inclusive and loving, are these teachings. Find out for yourself.

This is an excellent audio book. I have listened to this so many times I have lost count. So many ideas spoken in a non judgemental way, by someone that is obviously 'walking the walk'. I listened to his orignal tapes, way back when (he says of himself he was pushy in them) and the journey he has himself been on is evident. He does not expect you to accept anything he says, he is merely putting ideas and his own observations on the spiritual life.



I, like many people have accumulated many bits and pieces to supposedly help me on my journey and have found that although some may have helped, there is a point where letting thngs go is definitely the way forward. The author uses St Francis of Assissi as an example but having a Christial faith is not necessary to get the most out of this audio book. Letting go is not just about letting go of things it's also about letting go of the idea we have to travel upwards, improve ourselves by acts of will (and many more things) If we are to truly improve ourselves (yes heres a paradox) we have to travel inwards, travel downwards and let go.



My summary is of course no where near as elegant or as well said as in the audio book, I only hope that I have explained it well enough so that I don't put you off buying it as I would recommend this book to anyone wo is sincerely walking their own spiritual path, no matter what tradition the most heavily draw from.

This audio book will only be good when you are ready to hear… sounds about right for Richard Rohr
If you are pondering and knowing that it seems right but likely still feels empty then this may be time to listen to this
On the other hand, listen anyway it may be good to hear this ahead for when ready… that’s what happened to me hence needing to listen to it a couple of times as I changed

each time I listen to Richard Rohr I imagine that it's all all I'll ever need to hear on the journey. This more than ever, specially as it is narrated by him.
