Rohr reprises his best-selling talks on scripture in this powerful new series.

In this first volume in a three-part series, Richard Rohr develops aspects of transformation, a recurring theme in his popular presentations. Talk One: "Jesus: Forgiving Victim, Transforming Savior". If we imitate the way Jesus lived the role of victim, we will be able to live the Christian mystery. Jesus suffers freely but does not pass on the pain. He forgives, which destroys the death that confronts us. He says, “No one else is your problem. You are the locus of conversion and transformation.”

Born from energetic treatments that Bartlett discovered in his chiropractic practice, matrix energetics has evolved into a "technology of consciousness".

Could meditation and prayer affect the healing process? How do acupuncture, homeopathy, and healing touch work? Is it possible that the energy in our bodies is connected to the unlimited energy of the universe itself?

Today, his groundbreaking views on alternative healing systems have entered the corridors of our major hospitals and research centers.

Addresses both the shortcomings and strengths of the Catholic Christian tradition.

Western civilization is undergoing a crisis of meaning, and the Christian community needs to find new value, identity, and purpose through hope, says Franciscan Father Richard Rohr. In lectures and homilies he describes both the crisis and cure. In the 13th century, he tells us, St. Francis was called by the Lord to “rebuild my Church.” Anguished by the fragmentation in the Church today, Rohr invites us to rebuild the Church in the 21st century.

In our culture, the “good life” means getting more.

Can the laws of physics be broken? Are there angels and guides watching over you? Does this supposedly rational universe have room for magic? “Absolutely,” teaches Richard Bartlett, “And that only scratches the surface of what's possible.” Over the years of teaching the technology of consciousness he calls Matrix Energetics, Bartlett and his partner Melissa Joy have seen inexplicable healings, radical transformation, and phenomena so absurd that they can only be called miraculous.
