RENEW International Publishes “Longing for the Holy”

RENEW International has published a highly acclaimed literary companion to Fr. Ronald Rolheiser's "The Holy Longing," called "Longing for the Holy." "The Holy Longing" was on the Catholic Book Publishers' Associations best-sellers list for almost six years. Readers appreciate its spiritual guidance and information about the four dimensions to becoming a happy and spiritually healthy adult. The book teaches Catholics how to celebrate their spirituality in everyday life through practical wisdom and suggestions.

In "Longing for the Holy," RENEW International takes select ideas from "The Holy Longing" and presents them in a format which is ideal for small community faith sharing or personal refection. It is comprised of twelve sessions which explore different aspects of spirituality through sharing questions, reflections, prayers, and real-life anecdotes from the faithful. Readers of this material from RENEW International learn how to channel their longings as they realize the obstacles which may prevent the realization of their desires. "Longing for the Holy" explores the themes of church community, sexuality, justice, and the conduct of truly spiritual people. It presents these Christian concepts in contemporary terms which have helped many gain greater understanding of their faith and acheive deeper peace.
