Review Quotes: "Ronald Rolheiser is one of the great Christian spiritual writers of our time, as well as one of my own personal favorites. I have read, and recommended, his beautiful book "The Holy Longing" more times than I can remember. His sequel, "Sacred Fire, " is a superb book--one to give to a seeker looking to find God, to a friend struggling with a relationship with God, to a devout believer looking to deepen his or her faith--or best of all, to yourself, as a way of coming to know the God who desires ever more to know you." --James Martin, SJ, author of "Jesus: A Pilgrimage " "When Ron Rolheiser writes, it is clear, compelling, and challenging, plus it is about issues that matter to the soul. Well, here he does it again--and does it well!" --Fr. Richard Rohr, O.F.M., Center for Action and Contemplation, Albuquerque, New Mexico
