Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women of the Cell and Cloister This beauty of the desert, which has found its most perfect description in modern times, must insensibly have affected the thoughts and aspirations of the ancient Fathers. Green, the colour of life, that in Northern climes lays soothing touch upon weary eyes and brain, was absent from the picture unless, indeed, the vivid emerald of the garden of Egypt entered into the anchorite's distant perspective, intensified in tone by the black Nile, and perhaps by a ash of dark blue sea. In that air of telescopic clearness, the far mountains burned with the glow and definition of missal illuminations - incandescent scarlet and aming violet the very stones of the desert, amid the pale undulations of sand, shone orange and amber and black and purple, as if they were damp with water. White stones, heaved up by some convulsion at the beginning of time, assumed through incalculable ages strange and stranger shapes: they peopled the place with shadows of fearful intensity. But not always was the desert sharp-cut in outline sometimes the mountains would become uprooted, and oat, pink and lilac, in blue haze or liquid mists of grey-rose, or molten gold would fill the wastes with a soft or dazzling glory. The effect of such scenes on the mind can only be described in paradox. In these vast solitudes and unbroken silences man felt himself infinitely little and infinitely great the changing Splendours, divorced from all human occupations and human needs, crushed, and at the same time exalted him.

Book excerpt: Now with a new afterword by Pope emeritus Benedict XVI! In a time when technology penetrates our lives in so many ways and materialism exerts such a powerful influence over us, Cardinal Robert 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 Chartreux, 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."
