About the Book

In a time when technology penetrates our lives in so many ways and materialism exerts such a powerful influence over us, Robert Cardinal Sarah presents a bold book about the strength of silence. The modern world generates so much noise, he says, that seeking moments of silence has become both harder and more necessary than ever before. Silence is the indispensable doorway to the divine, explains the cardinal in this profound conversation with Nicolas Diat. Within the hushed and hallowed walls of the La Grande Chartreuse, the famous Carthusian monastery in the French Alps, Cardinal Sarah addresses the following questions: Can those who do not know silence ever attain truth, beauty, or love? Do not wisdom, artistic vision, and devotion spring from silence, where the voice of God is heard in the depths of the human heart? After the international success of God or Nothing, Cardinal Sarah seeks to restore to silence its place of honor and importance. "Silence is more important than any other human work," he says, "for it expresses God. The true revolution comes from silence; it leads us toward God and others so as to place ourselves humbly and generously at their service."

About the Author :
Robert Cardinal Sarah was born in Guinea, West Africa. Made an archbishop by Pope John Paul II and a Cardinal by Pope Benedict XVI, he was named the Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments by Pope Francis in 2014. Nicolas Diat is a French journalist and author. His previous collaboration with Cardinal Sarah was on his celebrated book God or Nothing. Joseph Ratzinger, also known as Pope Benedict XVI, was head of the Roman Catholic Church from April 2005-February 2013. A prolific author, theologian, and university professor, He served as an "expert" at the Second Vatican Council, and was tapped in 1977 by Pope Paul VI to lead the German Archdiocese of Munich and Freising. In 1981, Pope John Paul II called him to Rome to head the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, where he served until his papal election.

Review :
"It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of this profound, uniquely beautiful book." -- "Michael D. O'Brien, author of Father Elijah: An Apocalypse" "Provides a treasure trove of profound commentary on the sacredness of silence for the pursuit of a serious spiritual life in a world dominated by the dictatorship of noise." -- "Fr. Donald Haggerty, author of The Contemplative Hunger" "This book shows Cardinal Sarah to be one of the most spiritually alert churchmen of our time." -- "Bishop Robert Barron, creator and host, Catholicism video series"
