Immortal Diamond

The Search for Our True Self

By: Richard Rohr

Narrated by: Kevin Pierce

Dissolve the distractions of ego to find our authentic selves in God.

In his best-selling book Falling Upward, 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.

• Shows how to navigate spiritually difficult terrain with clear vision and tools to uncover our True Selves
• Written by Father Richard Rohr, the best-selling author of Falling Upward
• Examines the fundamental issues of who we are and helps us on our path of spiritual maturity

Immortal Diamond (whose title is taken from a line in a Gerard Manley Hopkins poem) explores the deepest questions of identity, spirituality, and meaning in Richard Rohr's inimitable style.

One of Richard Rohr's best books.

This is among the top 10 books dealing with contemplative journey. Sadly the reader mangles quite a few names and words. I would think that production editors at Audible would have taken greater care to ensure the text of the book is properly read.

A new day, an old way, a transformed life

Nobody else has had the impact on my spirit as Richard Rohr. With every word I am closer to living as my true self.

The narrator is good, but I love actually listening to Father Rohr.

Beautiful thoughts ruined by a robotic narrator

This collection of broad thoughts from the thoughtful Rohr is a good resource. Unfortunately the narration is terrible. Buy the paperback.

Beautiful Book, Robotic Narration

Fortunately I have read the printed copy of Immortal Diamond; it is a wonderful, thought provoking book. I have listened to Fr. Richard on podcasts and had the incredible joy of meeting him in person. When I read the printed book I could hear his voice and felt deeply the words of wisdom. This narration is cold and robotic; I actually thought it was an A.I. voice and not an actual human until I investigated the narrator. I would advise reading the book in printed form & skipping the audio version.

This is another Spiritual gem from Richard Rohr

As with his countless other works I found Immortal Diamond, transformational. I discovered my Immortal Diamond. I hope that you do too.
