About this listen

We often think of saints as rare individuals whose gifts far exceed our own, and St. Francis is no exception. But for Fr. Richard Rohr, a prolific author and renowned speaker, the life and teachings of this beloved figure offer an authentic spirituality we can all embody.

On the Art of Letting Go, Fr. Rohr gives us a six session learning course that explores: the surprising richness we discover by simplifying our lives - without taking a vow of poverty; liberation from our self-limiting biases and certitudes; contemplation and action, two key steps toward communing more deeply with the Divine, and more.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I can't begin to tell you how much I loved this book by Father Richard Rohr. I listened to it once then decided that I needed to listen to it again and write notes. I did that then decided to listen to it a third.....and a fourth time! There are so many hidden gems that I didn't want to miss one of them. I will probably listen to it again too. You can never have too much of a good thing in your life!

What did you like best about this story?

So many hidden gems.

What does Richard Rohr bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

It is like listening to a wise but gentle teacher. His warmth is wrapped up in to the words of the story and his real life examples magnify it.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Life Changer.

Listening to Rohr felt like hearing the gospel for the first time. Truly good news. Difficult, challenging, but actually good news, with no bad news snuck in through the backdoor. I want to be more like Christ. This book will encourage you to do that like never before.

I love Richard Rohr and have read many of his books and also viewed him on YouTube many times. This is the first of his talks I have listened to on Audible. I felt that he was rather repetitious in places and restated the same point too many times (for me). That said, I found this audio book very helpful.

A good listen
