Reviews
Advance Praise for The Restless Heart "Ronald Rolheiser examines the pain of loneliness and the meaning of our longing with compassionate precision. The book is not simply an exercise in personal spirituality but comes at a time when great social and political harm is done because many of us cannot endure and enjoy who we are in our loneliness. A much needed antidote to the uneasiness of the times." -Alan Jones, dean of Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, and author of Living the Truth and Seasons of Grace . "Ronald Rolheiser has emerged as one of the finest spiritual writers of our time. In this new edition of his earliest work he tills the soil where the holy longing is cultivated, nurtured, and sustained: the lonely human heart. He holds the key to help loosen the suffocating grip of loneliness so that our deepmost desires flourish and find rest in God." -Michael Downey, Cardinal's Theologian, Archdiocese of Los Angeles Praise for The Holy Longing "Rolheiser's program for Christian spirituality is reminiscent of the best work of Henri Nouwen and Daniel Berrigan." - Publishers Weekly "A master weaver is at work here . . . I found my soul on every page. At last we have a guide who helps us know what to do with the fire of desire within us. At last a comprehensive, lifegiving approach to sexuality. At last a dynamic understanding of how the paschal mystery plays in our own lives. At last a way to weave love for the poor and struggling people with the highest mystical love of God-I love this book." -Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking, Advance Praise forThe Restless Heart "Ronald Rolheiser examines the pain of loneliness and the meaning of our longing with compassionate precision.

Synopsis
A thoughtful exploration of loneliness, in the tradition of Henri Nouwen's classicReaching Out. Loneliness may be more pervasive now than at any other time in human history. Cell phones and "instant messaging" not withstanding, our longing for meaningful connections seems to increase in direct proportion to our accessibility. InThe Restless Heart, Ronald Rolheiser identifies different types of loneliness and discusses the dangers and opportunities they represent in our lives. Using contemporary parables from literature, film, and his own life, he shows that loneliness can be a tremendously creative and even valuable force when it is recognized, accepted and used as a dynamic catalyst. With his trademark clarity of vision, honesty, and intelligence, Rolheiser offers a distinctively Christian approach to living an examined, involved life and presents suggestions that will free readers to discover greater meaning and fulfillment in their own lives., A thoughtful exploration of loneliness, in the tradition of Henri Nouwen's classic Reaching Out .
