Book Study
Our next book study for adults will be reading
Richard Rohr's
Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life.
From the book jacket:
As we journey through the first half of life, we often think that it will end when we have achieved our goals or climbed as high as we can. With this cultural assumption in our heads, we arrive at life's second half and believe there is nowhere to go but down. Falling Upward challenges us to rethink this perspective, shining light on the idea that the end of our first path is not an ending, but a new beginning.
As we transition into the second half of life, we are confronted by our challenges, mistakes, losses, and other forms of suffering. Little do most of us realize that these sufferings are in fact enormous gifts, opportunities to step outside our comfort zones and broaden our spiritual horizons. In this book, author Richard Rohr offers a paradigm for understanding one of life's most profound mysteries: how our failings can become the foundation for our ongoing spiritual growth.
The Duxbury Free library will have 5 copies of the book on hold, starting next week under "Pilgrim Church."
