DESCRIPTION:\nIn his first major work since The Universal Christ\, one of o
 ur most prominent spiritual voices offers a wholehearted and hope-filled m
 odel for the world today\, grounded in the timeless wisdom of the Hebrew p
 rophets.  How do we live compassionately in a time of violence and despai
 r? What can we do with our private disappointments and the anger we feel i
 n such an unjust world? In his most personal book yet\, Richard Rohr turns
  to the writings of the Jewish prophets\, revealing how some of the lesser
 -read books of the Bible offer us a crucial path forward today.\nThe proph
 ets’ writings reflect the full spectrum of human maturity. In almost eve
 ry case\, their initial rage and their accusatory words evolve into a prof
 ound pathos and lamentation about our shared human condition and the world
 ’s suffering. Through astute critiques of culture and institutions\, and
  their journey from anger to sadness\, and ultimately compassion\, the pro
 phets exemplify what Rohr calls “sacred criticism”—a distinct approa
 ch to confronting evil and injustice that acknowledges the wholeness of hi
 story\, the interconnectedness of every living being\, and the reality of 
 a divine and universal love. In this\, they set the stage for Jesus\, who 
 follows this identical pattern.\nDrawing on a century of biblical scholars
 hip and written in the warm\, pastoral voice that has endeared Rohr to mil
 lions\, The Tears of Things breathes new life into ancient wisdom. It pave
 s a path of enlightenment for anyone seeking a compassionate way of living
  in a hurting world.  -Amazon\nBooks available in airlock.  Suggested do
 nation:  $20\nAvailable on Kindle for $13.99\nMondays from 1:00–2:00PM
  on Zoom with Shared Leadership\n\n
