Excerpt from Living Pictures in the Church of the Holy Communion, and Other Thoughts in Verse Coming to the Church of the Holy Com munion thirty years after the words I have quoted were spoken by its first pastor, and carefully observing its work, I soon felt that the hopes must have been high indeed in the beginning that had not been already more than realized. On expressing my feelings in Dreamland Church in Stone, I found I had only echoed the thoughts of hundreds, many of whom thanked me so warmly for that expression, and still ask for copies of it, that I have been tempted to'send forth this volume (in aid of one of the many chari ties of the church), which I affectionately in. Scribe to the clear, familiar friends who now gather around me, and make me feel that I can no longer say with truth that I am a lone, strange worshipper.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s most influential spiritual thinkers, a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called “Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our lives. “Anyone who strives to put their faith into action will find encouragement and inspiration in the pages of this book.”—Melinda Gates In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’s last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center. Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus’s life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us, and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.
