Eager to Love: The Alternative Way of Francis of Assisi (New Edition)

God’s love for you is unwavering, unconditional, and ever-present!

Fr. Rohr’s book reminds us that God’s love is unconditional. When we allow this truth to permeate our lives, the desire to share God’s love grows in our hearts, leading us outward toward each other in service and charity. As Jesus said: They will know you are my disciples by the love you show one another. (Jn 13:35)

The loving, inclusive life and preaching of Francis of Assisi make him a recognizable and beloved saint across many faith traditions. In the ten-year-anniversary edition of Eager to Love, globally recognized spiritual teacher Richard Rohr, OFM, provides for spiritual seekers a pathway to the inclusivity, freedom, and beauty found in the Christian mystical tradition. As an integrative thinker, Rohr expertly weaves psychological insights and literary and artistic references with Franciscan theology, showing that the rich theological contributions of St. Francis, St. Clare, St. Bonaventure, and John Duns Scotus are guiding lights for sincere spiritual seekers.
