On the Threshold of Transformation: Daily Meditations for Men
E**S
Life changing wisdom. I bought it 5 years ago and re-read it to this day!
I bought this book at the end of 2015. It changed my thinking, my life, and my theology forever.Even though Richard's work has become more new-agey in the past 10 years, this book takes from his early works where the energy and force of his opinions on the male journey were profound.Whenever I'm struggling or pondering life, I turn to this book. It is nourishment for the soul that never grows old, tiresome, or out of fashion.Buy this book. You will not regret it.

Beginning Men's Inner Soul Work That's Simple, Profound, Yet Real And Raw
A book dealing with deeply spiritual (not-religious, mind you) reflective thoughts on masculinity with a quiet AND determined effort to influence the "over-mothered" and the "under-fathered" men in western society.This is a simple, but by no means a light weight "Men's meditation." You WILL MEDITATE on these profound thoughts. Each of its 365 reflections are designed to be read in less than a minute but "meditated" over a minute, all day, week, year, or life. Some of the thoughts will challenge your "religious" upbringing perhaps they reflect the thoughts in between the lines of the Bible of Jesus' words and possibly conversations He may have had with His male disciples. Not easy stuff to swallow due to their spiritual 'rawness.'Men will get a perspective of why real men can learn the value of crying for others during their virtual/ego-driven age and the value of laughter as they age. Women can benefit from the reading for "understanding men" and INFORMATION ONLY, not ammunition.Serious inner soul work can start within these pages.A. Chevalier

Great for men
This was and is a very powerful way to journal about things that matter to us men. Combining references to epic poetry and grail mythology, psychology, practical spirituality and the commonly shared masculine worldview, I’d say this is hands down the best tool I’ve found. I stumbled upon it while on retreat following a stint in rehab for drug addiction. It set me solidly on the path to wholeness.

Rohr is a treasure!
Got this for my hubby but I am enjoying as much as he. The entries may be short and concise but they are long on wisdom and powerful take aways. This would be a great starter book for someone new to Rohr's work. I've read many of his books and have recommended them to others...this book is no exception. Rohr is a treasure!

A wonderful way to begin your day
I have been reading, interacting, and listening to Richard Rohr OFM for over 30 years. In many ways, I feel we have grown up together. He has been a catalyst in my spiritual journey, and continues to be in this daily meditation book for women. It contains threads of his many reflections over the years. As a man, I find it opens me to a deeper sense of true conversion and invitation to mature, or frankly "grow up".I have valued it as part of my daily reflection and morning prayer that I have cycle through it twice.I highly recommend it, especially for men in recovery.

Excellent! A must read
Richard Rohr hit it out of the ballpark on this one. Not only is it for men, and partners or spouses can emerge themselves in it as well, It speaks about lessons and practices men may have missed from their fathers. Rohr's book combines many different disciplines each addresses the core of a man's life. Excellent! A must read. I have already order 11 copies, which I have given to men I know as a gift to them and their son's.

I like Rohr a lot, but this seemed...random?
Good ideas, but strung together somewhat randomly - reminds me of something edited by a committee that valued 'consensus" over content.
