Their anger is so well hidden and denied even from themselves that it never comes up for the fresh air of love, conversation, and needed forgiveness. Richard Rohr out of block quote heading level 2 Orbis Books Features Richard Rohr in their Modern Spiritual Masters Series block quote This book is a wonderful testimony to the life and teachings of Richard Rohr, prophet, teacher, and mystic. By distilling the Gospel into the law of love, Richard has provided a healing balm for a wounded church, for those who have felt left out or shut out, or simply for those who are seeking a depth of spiritual meaning. Time and again his message is summed up in the simple truth: God is unconditional love. Ilia Delio out of block quote link graphic Cover image of Richard Rohr's new book, Essential Teachings on Love.
