The Power of Silence: Against the Dictatorship of Noise

Robert Cardinal Sarah (with Nicolas Diat)
Ignatius Press
248 pages, softcover $17.95

Bestselling author of God or Nothing (Ignatius), Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, Robert Cardinal Sarah puts forth a bold new book about the supernatural strength of silence – as an indispensable doorway to the Divine.

Written as a profound conversation with French journalist and author Nicolas Diat within the hushed walls of a Carthusian monastery in the French Alps, Cardinal Sarah’s latest work, The Power of Silence, addresses questions such as: 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?

Cardinal Sarah seeks to restore silence to its high place of honor, saying it is more important than any other human work, for it expresses God.
