I enjoyed this book. I understand it is not to everyone's taste, given that Richard Rohr is a Roman Catholic theologian and mystic. He is also well read and very spiritual. Books like this make you think and the language used helps you think more. For instance:
"Even your mistakes will be used in your favour, if you allow them to be. That's how good God is."
"You are a travelling ark of the covenant".
"God does not love you because you are good. God loves you because He is good".
...See what I mean?
But the reason I bought this book was to learn more about the mystery we call The Trinity (God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit). Richard Rohr does not disappoint. He helps us choose different metaphors in thinking of the Trinity, hence The Divine Dance. More than that, he says, we are invited to the dance. Brilliant.

Have you read The Good God by Michael Reeves? Sounds likes it's in a similar vein. Would be an interesting comparison.
