When one reaches the highest degree of human maturity, one has only one question left: How can I be helpful?
​ —TERESA OF ÁVILA
 
Beloved author Ronald Rolheiser continues his search for an accessible and penetrating Christian spirituality in identifying and embracing a discipleship that can lead to new heights of spiritual awareness and maturity.  As Rolheiser explains, when we embrace the struggle and yearning to know God we can experience too a profound re-understanding to our daily lives.

How do I live beyond my own heartaches, headaches, and obsessions so as to help make other peoples’ lives more meaningful? 

​As the poet Rainer Maria Rilke suggests, “Live the questions now.” In Sacred Fire, Rolheiser’s deeply affecting prose urges us on in pursuit of the most holy of all passions—a deep and lasting intimacy with God
