The Power of Silence

Against the Dictatorship of Noise

By: Robert Cardinal Sarah, Nicolas Diat, Michael J. Miller - translator

Narrated by: Peter Lawrence

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."

Moved me to a higher level of prayer.

when I finished one session I looked forward to listening to the next session. I found myself limiting how much I listen to at one time because there was so much meaning in every part of the book.

Wow!!!

You have to listen to this book! The Power of Silence is POWERFUL and stocked full of meaning and strong points about silence, prayer, and closeness to God. You will not be disappointed listening to this audible book.

A perfect book

A great book that is designed to transliterate very complex messages from Heaven and to have them further distilled and produced for his audience. I am very glad to have come across this book and I highly recommend it!

Necessary information

This is an amazing book. The information is so necessary for the people of today that it screams to the person reading it.
Like the Parable of the Seeds, it will fall on many different soil and rock mixtures.
