Of any time.\"--James Martin, SJ, author of Come Forth \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHow do we live compassionately in a time of violence and despair? What can we do with our private disappointments and the anger we feel in such an unjust world? In his most personal book yet, Richard Rohr turns to the writings of the Jewish prophets, revealing how some of the lesser-read books of the Bible offer us a crucial path forward today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe prophets' writings reflect the full spectrum of human maturity. In almost every case, their initial rage and their accusatory words evolve into a profound pathos and lamentation about our shared human condition and the world's suffering. Through astute critiques of culture and institutions, and their journey from anger to sadness, and ultimately compassion, the prophets exemplify what Rohr calls \"sacred criticism\"--a distinct approach to confronting evil and injustice that acknowledges the wholeness of history, the interconnectedness of every living being, and the reality of a divine and universal love. In this, they set the stage for Jesus, who follows this identical pattern. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on a century of biblical scholarship and written in the warm, pastoral voice that has endeared Rohr to millions, \u003ci\u003eThe Tears of Things\u003c\/i\u003e breathes new life into ancient wisdom.
