Ronald Rolheiser writes Catholic spirituality about prayer, desire, sexuality, discipleship and the difficulties of sustaining an inner life. The Holy Longing presents Christian spirituality through four recurring commitments: personal prayer and morality, social justice, community and a willingness to accept life's limits. Sacred Fire turns to spiritual maturity in middle and later adulthood, while Bruised and Wounded addresses loneliness, suicide and pastoral care. Rolheiser's prose is accessible, pastoral and reflective, using everyday emotional experience more than technical theology. The books are particularly suited to readers looking for spiritual reflection organised around ordinary emotional and relational experience. His work fits Catholic spirituality, Christian self-reflection, prayer and pastoral writing. Read more Less
