“Down to earth and yet prophetic teaching—a gift!”

- Retreat Participant

“Roger’s lectures and exercises were the most helpful to me. I liked how he presented himself as a ‘fellow pilgrim.’”

“What a joy it has been for me to be taught by Roger again!”

“This is a guide for those eager for a serious yet joyful journey from isolation to communion. It is about companionship on the greatest journey anyone can undertake. It is about kindness in the old sense of the word.”
