Book Reviews of Simplicity: The Freedom of Letting Go
Book Review: Rohr as usual --- priceless!
Summary: 5 Stars
Richard Rohr certainly is among my five favorite Christian authors. Rohr is a priest, a preacher and a member of the Franciscan Order (OFM) within the Roman Catholic Church. He is both priceless and refreshing because he in a direct, forceful and honest way -- speaks the truth as he sees it. He doesn't view the Church as perfect, certainly not all its leaders. He is a consistent critic of the present capitalistic economic system. And, he points out the failings in socialism.
Although this book is entitled "Simplicity." only the last chapter really is devoted to that subject consistently.
Apparently the book is based on a series of talks Rohr gave in Germany and Switzerland in the late eighties.
The varioius chapters range from Christians being active in transforming society, to women's place in the church, to how the Church needs to save itself.
An example of speaking plainly, clearly and directly: "Chrisitian nations are among the greediest and the most intent on security of any in the world, while they maintain that Jesus is their Lord and their security."
Summary of Simplicity: The Freedom of Letting Go
One of Fr. Rohr?s bestselling books, this revised and updated edition explores St. Francis?s ancient call to the simple life, where joy, not dry theology, helps us build relationships and find peace in ourselves.
