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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eShows how to navigate spiritually difficult terrain with clear vision and tools to uncover our True Selves\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten by Father Richard Rohr, the bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eFalling Upward\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines the fundamental issues of who we are and helps us on our path of spiritual maturity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eImmortal Diamond\u003c\/i\u003e (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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFr.
