The Tears of Things: Prophetic Wisdom for an Age of Outrage by Richard Rohr

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In his first major work since The Universal Christ, one of our most prominent spiritual voices offers a wholehearted and hope-filled model for the world today, grounded in the timeless wisdom of the Hebrew prophets.

 “Richard Rohr is one of the great Christian spiritual masters of our time. Of any time.”—James Martin, SJ, author of Come Forth

Join us on March 9 and 23 at 10:30a and 5:30p at Beyond Bread (corner of Speedway and Wilmot).

How do we live compassionately in a time of violence and despair? What can we do with our private disappointments and the anger we feel in such an unjust world? In his most personal book yet, Richard Rohr turns to the writings of the Jewish prophets, revealing how some of the lesser-read books of the Bible offer us a crucial path forward today.

Whether you are curious, seeking a deeper understanding, or continuing your journey with affirming theology, all are welcome. Come ready for rich conversation, learning, and grace-filled community.
