Near Occasions of Grace plunges us into the journey of spiritual discovery. Richard Rohr explores the meaning of the Incarnation, the "holiness of sexuality," the challenge of community, and the future of religious life. He spells out the daily challenges of faith, hope, and charity. Ultimately, he unmasks the demons that frustrate our spiritual quest, and reveals the presence of grace in our everyday human experience.
