Publisher's summary

Dissolve the distractions of ego to find our authentic selves in God.

In his best-selling book Falling Upward, Richard Rohr talked about ego (or the False Self) and how it gets in the way of spiritual maturity. But if there's a False Self, is there also a True Self? What is it? How is it found? Why does it matter? And what does it have to do with the spiritual journey? This book likens True Self to a diamond, buried deep within us, formed under the intense pressure of our lives, that must be searched for, uncovered, separated from all the debris of ego that surrounds it. In a sense True Self must, like Jesus, be resurrected, and that process is not resuscitation but transformation.

  • Shows how to navigate spiritually difficult terrain with clear vision and tools to uncover our True Selves
  • Written by Father Richard Rohr, the best-selling author of Falling Upward
  • Examines the fundamental issues of who we are and helps us on our path of spiritual maturity

Immortal Diamond (whose title is taken from a line in a Gerard Manley Hopkins poem) explores the deepest questions of identity, spirituality, and meaning in Richard Rohr's inimitable style.

This is another Spiritual gem from Richard Rohr

As with his countless other works I found Immortal Diamond, transformational. I discovered my Immortal Diamond. I hope that you do too.

Beautiful thoughts ruined by a robotic narrator

This collection of broad thoughts from the thoughtful Rohr is a good resource. Unfortunately the narration is terrible. Buy the paperback.

Great book. Narration could be better.

Great book, excellent message. My only criticism would be how the narration sounds quite robotic at times & can be difficult to listen to.

One of Richard Rohr's best books.

This is among the top 10 books dealing with contemplative journey. Sadly the reader mangles quite a few names and words. I would think that production editors at Audible would have taken greater care to ensure the text of the book is properly read.

A new day, an old way, a transformed life

Nobody else has had the impact on my spirit as Richard Rohr. With every word I am closer to living as my true self.

The narrator is good, but I love actually listening to Father Rohr.
