"This is one of those works that gets more than a bit rambly and mystical, but it has moments of such profound and affirming truth that it is worth the meandering. It reflects a call to wisdom that does not denounce all that came before and articulates a vital but missing piece in our culture and particularly in the Christian church: True elders offering real maturity to mentor the next generation. <br/><br/>Rohr is very intentional about being gender inclusive but I do think his message is the most resonant with and for white men in America. Regardless, his insight and invitation into "the second half of life" begins a much-needed discourse - a discourse on integration, wholeness, and generativity in a world obsessed with power, youth, and entertainment."
