Joseph Martos Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

Jedná se o rozsáhle přepracovanou knihu Cesta divokého muže, která u nás vyšla před 5 lety a oslovila široký okruh mužů v jejich hledání mužské identity a spirituality. Rohrovo dílo zraje jako dobré víno a tato kniha přináší řadu nových hlubokých podnětů (zvláště v nově zařazených kapitolách) všem, kdo jsou na cestě.

Martos has greatly expanded all of the bibliographic material and has incorporated the latest developments in theological study and inquiry. His focus is on the seven ecclesial sacraments of the Catholic Church: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing, Marriage, and Orders.
