Summary

Tenth Anniversary Edition

“Brother Rohr may just take you to places you’ve both avoided and longed for, to truth, union, joy, laughter, and, greatest of all, to your own precious self, here on earth with us, child of God.” (Anne Lamott, from the foreword)

We all suffer from unhealthy dependencies that we continually return to in hopes of having a better life. But after yet another TV show is streamed or another drink is swallowed, we find we once again feel worse, not better, than we did before. Where is the hope for that fully awakened life we long to live?

World-renowned author Richard Rohr says we can only be healed and find true fulfillment by facing our dependencies head-on. In Breathing Under Water, he will guide you to:

  • Disentangle from cultural cycles of sin and emptiness.
  • Discover how to get free from your personal toxic dependencies.
  • Learn how the Twelve Step program can supplement Christian teaching.
  • Find compassion for others and yourself.
  • Enjoy a deeper spiritual life, feeling certain of God’s love for you.

Those who are ready to break negative patterns and experience greater internal freedom will find bold hope and transformation in this insightful book.

Insightful Book

A very Insightful Book!
As a minor Observation there is basically a Mixup in Chapter 4 page 29 with the quoted Psalms Scripture References ( Chapter & Verse), a Crisscross between two or more Bible Versions.
In the Catholic Bible Version it’s Psalms 50:19 and other versions KJV/NIV etc it’s Psalms 51:16&17
I bought the Audiobook which I have just finished. I initially thought it was only errored in the audio version but it also wrong in the Printed Copies.
Hence 4*
