But as we grow older and encounter challenges and mistakes, we need to see ourselves in a different and more life-giving way.

But what if we breached that mystery? How might it transform our relationship with God? Although the word 'trinity' isn't found in the New Testament-it wasn't until the third century that it was coined-the idea of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit was present in Jesus' life and teachings....

But if there's a False Self, is there also a True Self? What is it? How is it found? Why does it matter? And what does it have to do with the spiritual journey?

Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious squabbling, and the human tendency to put ourselves...
