A fresh way of thinking about spirituality that grows throughoutlife In Falling Upward, Fr. Richard Rohr seeks to help readersunderstand the tasks of the two halves of life and to show themthat those who have fallen, failed, or "gone down" are the onlyones who understand "up." Most of us tend to think of the secondhalf of life as largely about getting old, dealing with healthissues, and letting go of life, but the whole thesis of this bookis exactly the opposite. What looks like falling down canlargely be experienced as "falling upward." In fact, it isnot a loss but somehow actually a gain, as we have all seen withelders who have come to their fullness. Explains why the second half of life can and should be full ofspiritual richness Offers a new view of how spiritual growth happens?loss isgain Richard. Rohr is a regular contributing writer for Sojournersand Tikkun magazines This important book explores the counterintuitive message thatwe grow spiritually much more by doing wrong than by doingright.
