In language that Paul might use if he were preaching and writing today, Rohr presents Paul’s all-embracing vision and invites us to enter into the mystery of Christ and be transformed. Rohr breaks new ground by applying up-to-date theories of our universe, integrating them with Paul’s revolutionary thinking about sin, saints and spirituality.

Story
Franciscan priest Richard Rohr feels that there is no more challenging spiritual issue than the “problem of the self". Most of contemporary spiritual teaching, he believes, is still trying to inspire and fortify the private self, the autonomous "I". Even much church work is trying to evangelize and sacramentalize what many would call "the false self." Basic transformation is not expected, but merely a new set of beliefs and practices or loyal membership in a new group.

In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world.

Story
In the first half of life, we are naturally preoccupied with establishing ourselves; climbing, achieving, and performing. But as we grow older and encounter challenges and mistakes, we need to see ourselves in a different and more life-giving way. This message of falling down - that is in fact moving upward - is the most resisted and counterintuitive of messages in the world's religions. Falling Upward offers a new paradigm for understanding one of the most profound of life's mysteries: how those who have fallen down are the only ones who understand "up".

We all suffer from unhealthy dependencies that we continually return to in hopes of having a better life. But after yet another TV show is streamed or another drink is swallowed, we find we once again feel worse, not better, than we did before. Where is the hope for that fully awakened life we long to live?

Rohr reprises his best-selling talks on scripture in this powerful new series. He describes the Bible as a text in travail, containing not just conclusions, but a process that mirrors our own journey (three steps forward, two steps backward). In the three steps forward, Scripture always reveals that we are related to something infinite and that ours is an enchanted and trustworthy universe.

Story
First presented at a series of popular retreats, this full audio program takes a participatory approach to Merton's most useful teachings, helping us to discover our true self...to disappear into God; to be submerged into his peace; to be lost in the secret of his face, as Merton said, through daily practices including contemplation, prayer, and faith. In the end we find ourselves in what the Taoist sage Chuang Tzu called the Palace of Nowhere, where all the many things are one.

Do I Stay Christian? addresses in public the powerful question that surprising numbers of people—including pastors, priests, and other religious leaders—are asking in private. Picking up where Faith After Doubt leaves off, Do I Stay Christian? is not McLaren's attempt to persuade Christians to dig in their heels or run for the exit. Instead, he combines his own experience with that of thousands of people who have confided in him over the years to help readers make a responsible, honest, ethical decision about their religious identity.

Publisher's Summary
Richard Rohr leads us through the social, political and environmental setting out of which Matthew brought Christ’s radical message of a new world order. He explains Matthew’s challenge to let go of the conventional wisdom that comes with contemporary American culture. Each of seven talks brings us closer to the heart of the Sermon.
Rohr contrasts conventional wisdom with the wisdom of Christ and draws the listener into the Kingdom of God, the end of the world and the experience of enlightenment. He explains that each generation lives in end times, that the Kingdom is for those willing to let go of all cultural idolatry (past and present) and that those who live in reality travel a path of life which unfolds into freedom. This series is a powerful call to follow Jesus Christ in the commandments of the New Testament.

Excellent!
I'm amazed that I ever attempted to understand the sermon on the mount without in depth cultural analysis and big-picture scriptural references that Richard Rohr provides in this audio series. I feel like I've just attended a life-changing retreat weekend :)

Finally a way to understand the ancient scripts!!!
What did you love best about Sermon on the Mount?
Father Rohr gives us a valuable insight to the context/times/culture that Jesus was teaching and clears up what we have either lost in translation or simply do not understand because of the language and major time barrier/gap.
What other book might you compare Sermon on the Mount to and why?
The Art of Letting Go
What does the narrator bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
His inflections. You can hear him smile and he drives home the points wonderfully.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It brought me closer to an understanding of God, Jesus, as I seek enlightenment.

left wing political view of Jesus
What disappointed you about Sermon on the Mount?
That there was so little about the Sermon on the Mount and so much about how Liberal activism will save the world. Jesus is lost in the politics. Of the 8 hours, only two are about the Sermon on the Mount. The other 6 are about investment bankers, the Status quo and Jesus giving power to the people. I think Rohr is intelligent and has something to say, but i was not looking for a political rally.
What was most disappointing about Richard Rohr’s story?
I think he lets his political views, change how he views Jesus and his works.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Rohr has some good ideas about the people age and come to wisdom.
Any additional comments?
If you are looking for a bible study on the Sermon on the Mount, you should probably look elsewhere. If you are looking for a well thought out argument on how Jesus was a radical activist hippie, then this is your book.

Exhilarating!!!
Having grown up in a fundamental Christian environment but now since left I have been trying to discover new ways of looking at God and Jesus and his message. This is far and away the best message I have ever heard. It feels one with Hope and exhilaration that the real truth of Jesus is accessible to everyone!

Densely packed
These recordings from a retreat led by Richard Rohr are full of insights and challenges. I found the teaching illuminating, the lessons transformative, and the style engaging. The earth-shattering revelations came one after another after another, so that I felt like the world had changed three times over already each day by the time I finished my commute and arrived at work! I'm going back to the beginning immediately on finishing the first time through...but the real challenge is how to live out what we learn here.

Richard does an excellent job of laying the foundation for Matthew's presentation of Jesus' sermon on the mount. By the time he's finished with the foundation the actual text begins to fall into place much more easily and much more understandably.

Good, But...
Richard Rohr is certainly a dynamic and engaging speaker and his commentary on one of the most (if not THE most) important speeches in all of Christendom is thorough, detailed, and extremely well articulated. Richard brings forth so much wisdom and insights into the message of Christ and the meaning of a Christian based life. However, there are incredible lapses in his wisdom, and dare I say moral compass. Some that were quite frankly, shocking when I heard them. The biggest is his obvious support of a Marxist/Communist economic system. He outright states it.
I'm not quite sure how someone who is so versed in the teachings and analysis of moral virtues could support the most evil doctrine in the entire history of mankind. An ideology when practiced by the state resulted in (without exception) abject poverty, gratuitous and unjust imprisonment, torture, and murder of hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The second most evil ideology is far far far from close.
He continually injects a socioeconomic and political ideology and carefully and skillfully interweaves it into the analysis and meaning of the Sermon as the preliminary foundation to fully understand it. His criticism of America's role in WWII and his statement that we as a country should be ashamed and beg for forgiveness for our role. For what, bringing peace to parts of Asia and western Europe? For stopping the Holocaust and preventing millions more Jews and Gentiles from being murdered and oppressed? He even champions a vegetarian/vegan diet/lifestyle and declares it essential and critical to the ultimate message in The Sermon. Not for health reasons mind you (for which one can make some valid arguments), but rather, he states, for political purposes and means.
There is far too much to unpack in these subjects/issues mentioned above to continue in depth in this limited format (review). So I will give credit where credit is due: His captivating and warm style of speaking, his knowledge of the text and history of the subject and his often laser like and often accurate criticisms of many structures and institutions of modern life, not least of all, the church. But communism is too horrific an ideology and economic system, and stating ultimately we should be ashamed rather than celebrate our role in WWII, are too big to overlook. They indicate a clear and certain dysfunction and lapse in his moral compass. Which is worrisome to say the least when speaking and preaching about perhaps the greatest moral speech in human history.

Fascinating!
Would you listen to Sermon on the Mount again? Why?
I would listen to this recording again because it is filled with deep insights that have helped me to navigate my own journey.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I love how Richard Rohr describes and explains the reality that Jesus brought about and continues to offer.
What does the narrator bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Richard's books are also clear. But it is convenient to hear this while I drive.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I did not have an extreme reaction, but I had an experience of joy.
Any additional comments?
I highly recommend this sermon to anyone who is deeply interested in the deep truths of the gospels or who is open-minded enough to learn of a new spiritual insight.

Not very knowledgeable. Inaccurate examples
Would you try another book from Richard Rohr and/or Richard Rohr?
No. I stopped reading after 30 min. His examples were inaccurate enough I don't trust his knowledge. He claimed that John was the gospel that proved Jesus' divinity. The other gospels claim the same in a Jewish way. There is a chapter on it in Pitre's "The Case for Jesus" if you are interested. He claimed that Francis was forced out of the order and his teachings ignored. Just read Chesterton's book on St. Francis. They had to adapt St. Francis' teachings to a more sustainable practice than homeless beggars, but kept the spirit of the movement. Then he said future, holier Christians would be scandalized by deaths from war. If he is Catholic, open the Catechism. Look in paragraphs 2302-2317 and read about the causes for just war. This took me less than a minute to google.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I never got to it. I stopped at 30mn and plan on getting my credit back.
What about Richard Rohr’s performance did you like?
He started with a prayer. His voice was easy to listen too.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No. He exaggerates to make everything sound worse than it is.
