About this listen

From one of the most beloved spiritual writers alive today, a powerful, timeless book of meditations for the Lenten season

What if Lent were not primarily about self-improvement, but about real transformation through encountering God?

In Wondrous Encounters, Richard Rohr invites readers into a forty-day journey through Scripture that is less about explanation and more about lived experience. Written during a season of silence and solitude, these reflections follow the daily Lenten readings from Ash Wednesday through Holy Saturday, tracing a downward path of surrender that quietly becomes a movement toward new life.

Rather than offering moral instruction or theological argument, Rohr approaches the Bible as a living dialogue—one that mirrors our inner struggles, unmasks false certainties, and opens us to deeper seeing. Drawing on themes of non-dual awareness, mercy, and divine intimacy, he shows how Scripture shapes us not by answers alone, but by encounter itself.

Written in Rohr’s characteristically spacious, pastoral voice, Wondrous Encounters offers a contemplative companion for Lent—one that invites readers to be fully known, fully honest, and gradually transformed through the slow, faithful reading of God’s Word.
