The Holy Longing
The Naked Now
When Things Fall Apart

Perfect for you if...

You've worked through the foundational questions of faith and identity and are ready to explore what mature discipleship actually looks like.
You appreciated The Holy Longing but want a deeper, more nuanced exploration of spiritual growth across the full arc of adult life.
You're drawn to thoughtful Christian writing that acknowledges struggle and disillusionment as essential parts of the spiritual journey, not obstacles to it.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for a practical how-to guide with step-by-step spiritual techniques rather than contemplative theological reflection.
You prefer contemporary Christian writing that emphasises positivity and blessing over wrestling with the darker nights of faith.
You're not interested in explicitly Christian spirituality and want interfaith or secular approaches to maturity instead.

About this book

Ronald Rolheiser explores Christian spirituality and human maturity in this follow-up to The Holy Longing. Drawing on the insight that mature individuals ask "How can I be helpful?" rather than focusing on personal concerns, Rolheiser examines how embracing discipleship leads to spiritual growth. The book guides readers through experiences of both fulfillment and struggle—pleasure, disillusionment, boredom—and explains how engaging with the yearning to know God can transform daily life. Rolheiser addresses the progression from foundational life questions (Who am I? Who loves me?) to deeper ones: How do we live less self-centered lives? What constitutes mature Christian discipleship? How do we follow Jesus authentically? Rolheiser's prose explores what lies beyond life's basic concerns, examining how individuals can shift focus from personal insecurity to meaningful service and a deeper intimacy with God.
