Product Description
This popular and best-selling book of the renowned Franciscan challenges us to move beyond the comfort of a settled life toward an understanding of ourselves that is rooted in our connection to God. Only when we rest in God can we find the certainty and the freedom to become all that we can be. Contemplation has its place at the heart of Christianity, a place that allows us to experience that, well, "everything belongs."

Everything does Belong....Both now and forever... November 14, 2008
I truly believe the title of the book Everything Belongs is the ultimate invitation for every christian. The title is the basis of the mystical union that I truly believe the Lord tried to teach us and the Gospel writers, esp John, and the Book of Revelation, by John of Patmos, proclaimed. They are proclaiming that we are Mystical Beings presently in human form.
Near Perfect November 10, 2008
This book is nearly perfect. I wore out two highlighters and a pen while reading/studying. Rohr doesn't waste a line; something poingent and worth really examining on every page.
I am fully aware that different books speak to different people at certain times of our lives. If it doesn't work for you, be patient and revisit this one.
Blessings to you,
Josh
If read properly, this book would take a lifetime to complete October 28, 2008
In a lifetime of reading and contemplation, I have yet to find a book which leads one on so many paths, all of which are headed toward forming a relationship with God.
I often find that a paragraph may be all that I can read at one time, for it may start me on another unending journey.
I am sure that it is a cliche to suggest that a book is "full of insight." This book, however, is full of material that will drag insight from your soul, though perhaps only at the rate of a few pages each day.
 Odd spirituality August 11, 2008
5 out of 13 found this review helpful
If the idea of a prayer to a "Father-Mother God," a study of New Age enneagrams, or a retreat with nude men jumping over fire pits is in line with your notion of spirituality, then this is your book, as Richard Rohr is notorious for promoting oddities like those just described. But if you're interested in straightforward spiritual direction, you might stick with works by more reliable figures like St. Ignatius Loyola, St. Francis De Sales, or Fr. Thomas Dubay.

Growing up in a fundamental Christian home and attending a conservative church,I was at first hesitant to read such a "out there" book by a catholic none the less. But it being recommended to me by my counselor as the middle road between the eastern way and the western, I was intrigued. I was so refreshed and renewed in my walk with Jesus to see Him as one who loves all and wants to be reconciled to all, no judgements. The Eastern way of looking at life used to frighten me but after this book, I feel more open minded and walking down the road God wants me on. I have such a new appreciation for the Catholic religion and their view of who God is. I reccommend this book to any who are searching for more of who God is.
