Title:
Just This: Prompts and Practices for Contemplation
Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Paperback
ISBN: 9780281079919
Overview:
Just This invites you into the art of everyday contemplation. This slender, purposefully practical collection gathers brief, evocative meditations and prompts designed to slow the pace of life and cultivate a quiet, attentive awareness. Richard Rohr—a widely respected Franciscan teacher—demonstrates that contemplation isn’t about escaping reality but waking up to it: to beauty, truth, and the ordinariness of ordinary moments. Each entry offers a small shift in perception, a moment of recognition that can transform how you move through a day, a week, or a season. The prompts blend reflection with gentle spiritual insight, creating a spacious apprenticeship in seeing rather than merely looking. Readers are invited to listen to what’s held in plain sight, to notice the sacred in the mundane, and to nurture a steady practice that blossoms into a calmer mind, a kinder heart, and a deeper sense of belonging. This is the heart of contemplation: a path toward freedom from habitual filters and a clearer, truer way of knowing reality as it is.
What Makes This Book Stand Out:
Rohr’s voice sits at the crossroads of contemplation, theology, and pastoral warmth, making dense ideas feel approachable and usable. This is not a theoretical treatise but a practical companion for daily life. The meditations are concise enough for a busy morning, yet rich enough to reward deeper reflection. The prompts encourage pauses, noticing, and patient inquiry—cultivating a contemplative mindset that shifts perception from reaction to receptivity. By weaving mysticism with everyday experience, Rohr helps readers move from intellectual assent to lived awareness, so prayer and reflection become a steady practice rather than an event. The book serves as a welcoming entry point for newcomers to Christian mysticism while offering fresh angles for longtime readers familiar with Rohr’s core themes. The result is a reliable, repeatable practice that can accompany you through daily routines, study groups, or quiet retreats.
Who This Book Is Perfect For:
This book is ideal for adults seeking quiet guidance in a noisy world. It suits readers curious about Christian mysticism, spiritual seekers from diverse backgrounds, and anyone who appreciates short, meaningful daily prompts. It makes a thoughtful gift for someone starting a personal contemplative practice, a church study group, or a friend who values mindful living. The compact format is perfect for busy schedules, travel, or an evening wind-down, while the depth of the prompts rewards longer, repeated reading. Whether you’re new to Rohr or a longtime reader, this title offers accessible paths into a richer, more awake everyday experience.

About the Author:
Richard Rohr is a globally recognized Franciscan friar and ecumenical teacher, renowned for blending contemplative spirituality with rigorous theological reflection. He founded the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New Mexico, an educational nonprofit dedicated to translating Christian mysticism into transformative practice. Rohr’s body of work—topical and devotional—explores transformation, spiritual awakening, and the path of contemplation in everyday life. Readers appreciate his clear, compassionate voice that invites curiosity, humility, and a deeper sense of connection to something larger than the self. This book reflects his signature approach: thoughtful, accessible, and profoundly practical for serious readers and curious newcomers alike.
Why You’ll Love This Book:
If you crave a contemplative practice that fits into real life, this book delivers.

It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone exploring faith or seeking inner stillness, and it works beautifully for solo reflection or small-group discussion. Owning Just This creates a reliable daily ritual—a gentle doorway into presence, beauty, and a steadier, more awake way of seeing reality as it is. It’s an invitation to let everyday moments become teachers, and a reminder that the heart of contemplation can be practiced anywhere, at any time.
