Book Study: Immortal Diamond by Richard Rohr


  • 575 Main Street Stroudsburg, PA, 18360 United States (map)

+ THURSDAYS BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 7, 3:30 P.M. - 4:30 P.M. ON ZOOM

After a summer hiatus, this group will be back on Sept. 7. All are welcome, regardless of location or church affiliation, to join us as we dive into Immortal Diamond by Richard Rohr. Book description is below -- if you'd like the Zoom link, email pastor Beth.

In his best-selling book Immortal Diamond, Richard Rohr talked about ego (or the False Self) and how it gets in the way of spiritual maturity. 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? This book likens True Self to a diamond, buried deep within us, formed under the intense pressure of our lives, that must be searched for, uncovered, separated from all the debris of ego that surrounds it. In a sense True Self must, like Jesus, be resurrected, and that process is not resuscitation but transformation.
