Publisher Description: Caring for ourselves is a popular topic across all segments of the population. As we age, many of us are facing our own health issues or dealing with those of friends and loved ones. Hope and Help for Living With Illness offers an uplifting resource for dealing with sickness and disability, and a unique approach to issues of health and spirituality. The author has lived with chronic illness for over 30 years, and she draws on both her own experience and the experience of others she has encountered in her ministry to provide guidance and inspiration for developing a healthy and holistic plan for life. |
Contributor Bio(s): Rohr, Richard: - Fr. Richard Rohr is a globally recognized ecumenical teacher bearing witness to the universal awakening within Christian mysticism and the Perennial Tradition. He is a Franciscan priest of the New Mexico Province and founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Fr. Richard's teaching is grounded in the Franciscan alternative orthodoxy--practices of contemplation and lived kenosis (self-emptying), expressing itself in radical compassion, particularly for the socially marginalized. Fr. Richard is the author of numerous books, including Everything Belongs, Adam's Return, The Naked Now, Breathing Under Water, Falling Upward, Immortal Diamond, and Eager to Love: The Alternative Way of Francis of Assisi. Fr. Richard is academic Dean of the Living School for Action and Contemplation. Drawing upon Christianity's place within the Perennial Tradition, the mission of the Living School is to produce compassionate and powerfully learned individuals who will work for positive change in the world based on awareness of our common union with God and all beings.
