Richard Rohr, a Franciscan priest, internationally known inspirational speaker and author, is founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

“Richard Rohr is always teaching us how to stretch our boundaries, while drawing upon our rich tradition. Here he goes, as only a Franciscan can, to the man who showed us how to love all of creation, St. Francis of Assisi, and challenges us to do the same. His is a critical message for our time.” —John Feister, editor, St. Anthony Messenger

“Arguing the power of the incarnation and Christianity’s singular place as the only world religion proclaiming such a thing, Richard Rohr leads us here into deepening levels of appreciation for contemplative practice and for the spiritual richness that comes from a studied, but mystical connectivity with all parts of creation. As a result, Embracing an Alternative Orthodoxy is –as Rohr himself says--an invitation to join him ‘in un-doing some bad theology.’ And that, as they say, is an invitation every one of us should be more than eager to accept.”—Phyllis Tickle, author, speaker, host of the bestselling Embracing Emergence Christianity, workshop leader, and visionary

“Richard Rohr is one of the great Christian teachers of our age. He is that rare figure whose transformative wisdom transcends the narrow categories of denominations within the church, and speaks to all Christians, all believers and indeed all seekers. Richard Rohr is undoubtedly a Christian spiritual master.”—James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage
