Story
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn’s startling book led, almost 30 years later, to Glasnost, Perestroika, and the "Fall of the Wall". One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich brilliantly portrays a single day, any day, in the life of a single Russian soldier who was captured by the Germans in 1945 and who managed to escape a few days later. Along with millions of others, this soldier was charged with some sort of political crime, and since it was easier to confess than deny it and die, Ivan Denisovich "confessed" to "high treason" and received a sentence of 10 years in a Siberian labor camp.

How many self-help books are written by authors whose biggest success is selling self-help books? Three Simple Steps is different. Despite stock market crashes, dot-com busts, and the specter of recession, the author started a virtual company from home, using a few thousand dollars of his savings. A few years later, without ever hiring an employee or leaving his home office, he sold it for more than $100 million. As the economy slipped into another free fall, he did this again with a company in a different field. He accomplished this through no particular genius.

What is it that keeps us from asking for what we want? So often, the things that we want in our lives elude us for one very surprising (and deceptively simple) reason. We don't ask for them. From a higher salary... to a better bargain... to a little more help around the house, there are all sorts of desires that we harbor but never achieve, when the fact is, we haven't taken the most important step of all.

Love Ken Robinson, I'm all in on the premise
- By SJ S on 2020-10-10
Publisher's Summary
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. This only confirms the disguise of the ego, but does not truly offer a "new creation". Both the individual and society remain largely unchanged.
Rohr suggests that until the false assumptions of Western individualism are clearly faced and experienced by religious believers (and they are the only ones fully prepared to face it), there will be no real breakthroughs for Christianity or any religion.
He makes reference to the work of Ken Wilber, Thomas Merton, Eckhart Tolle, the mystical tradition especially of Julian of Norwich, and the new paradigms offered by quantum physics. In a presentation that embraces the challenge, inspiration, and the genuine hope that is offered by the Gospel of Jesus, Rohr illustrates the implications of transformation both for individuals and for society at large.

Refreshing.
You don’t have to be religious to appreciate what this guy is saying. I got it on a whim and there were many parts that made sense. The book is so much better than a book trying to tell you “my religion is the right one”. It also gets into the intolerance that goes along with the ‘tribalism’ we seem to have so much of in our life these days. He also talked about freeing ourselves from our egos - well that would be the end result? It was lovely and quite spiritual but not overwhelmingly religious.

Theologically I see this as New Covenant insight.
Unity of the Spirit in Christ as One with the Father in Love, in union with the souls in the church/community, in His Presence is well presented. Listen for yourself, whilst allowing your heart to hear. Though I am not Catholic, nor is Rohr legalistically, I resonate with many metaphoric insights, in parallel to my Protestant theological expansion and prophetic vision primarily uniting Johannine insight to Pauline theology magnified by the indwelling Spirit advancing the affections of the Love of God, in the Kingdom City of God's New Jerusalem amidst others resonating in the same Love.

Both a foundation and an extension of Rohr's theology
Not really a "book" so much as a series of recorded lectures, this text still holds together conceptually by Rohr's awareness of his audience's needs. In fact the advantage of hearing his voice is augmented by the pace and process as he "reads" his audience, and adjusts. This lends to a sense of authenticity, blending substantial preparation with a spontaneous "think aloud." Ultimately makes the "listening to a book" experience even better.
