Review
"This book shows Cardinal Sarah to be one of the most spiritually alert churchmen of our time."-- Bishop Robert Barron, Creator and Host, Catholicism film series "Cardinal Robert Sarah's profound exploration of the silence in which we hear the still, quiet voice of God, and thus come to know the truth about ourselves, is a powerful challenge to the cacophony of our times and a summons to a more Gospel-centered way of life."-- George Weigel, Distinguished Senior Fellow and William E. Simon Chair in Catholic Studies, Ethics and Public Policy Center "Cardinal Sarah provides an incomparable help to contemporary man, so that he may practice the silence which is necessary to hear the voice of God and so to know himself and the world in their deepest truth, beauty, and goodness."-- Cardinal Raymond Burke, Author, Hope for the World "Noise, as C.S. Lewis' devil Screwtape famously said, is the music of hell. Cardinal Sarah offers us a richly engaging, elegantly written reflection on the importance of recovering silence in our own lives, and through silence, rediscovering the presence of God, the beauty of creation, and the nature of our mission as disciples." --Most Rev. Charles Chaput, Archbishop of Philadelphia"Cardinal Robert Sarah has once again powerfully spoken a message desperately needing to be heard in our contemporary society. I pray that many will read this treasure chest of wisdom."-- Most Rev. Salvatore Cordileone, Archbishop of San Francisco "It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of this profound, uniquely beautiful book."-- Michael D. O'Brien, Author, Father Elijah: An Apocalypse "Africa produces the most passionate Catholics, and the happiest people, even in terrible external circumstances. Here is a book by an African cardinal about a simple but profound mine shaft to deep happiness."-- Peter Kreeft, Ph.D., Professor of Philosophy, Boston College "Cardinal Sarah offers profound insights into the importance of silence, a topic that needs to be addressed in the Church today." --Fr. Donald Calloway, Author, Champions of the Rosary: The History and Heroes of a Spiritual Weapon"The jewel of contemplative life never hides for long. In this remarkable interview, Cardinal Sarah, the great contemplative prefect in Rome, 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, The Contemplative Hunger "More people in the Western world are isolated, lonely, and restless, not knowing how to conquer their personal demons. This long interview on silence—not self-absorption, not absence—between Nicolas Diat and Cardinal Sarah takes us in the opposite direction to quiet, peace, and God, offering hundreds of quotations from across three thousand years.Carthusian silence is not an option for most of us, but busy people also need to be silent and know God, who is not in the earthquake, the storm, or modern noise.This book is not for the faint-hearted, but it helps explain why Cardinal Sarah is one of the most courageous and prophetic figures on the College of Cardinals."— George Cardinal Pell, Prefect of the Secretariat for the Economy "In his latest book, The Power of Silence, Cardinal Sarah demonstrates a truly profound and insightful understanding of the current state of the human condition. With a clarity and directness that is refreshing, His Eminence points out how it is nearly impossible to encounter God in the "hell of noise" which characterizes our modern experience. So many of the problems and the hopelessness that envelope us are related back to the fact that modern man makes no space for God. This book is a must read for anyone interested in bringing God back into our lives and our culture." --Most Rev. Alexander K. Sample, Archbishop of Portland

"In this hell of noise, man disintegrates and is lost." Cardinal Sarah is not a writer in the same league as Pope Benedict or von Hildebrand. But he is a truly remarkable man with remarkable thoughts. If you haven't read God or Nothing, I would read that first to better understand where Cardinal Sarah is coming from. But don't miss this book and its message. My only regret is that it ranks #541 on the Amazon best seller list.
I think this is the most important book on the market right now. Not that its subject matter would ever be untimely, but it is especially timely in our tweet-saturated, attention-dispersed, blinking-light modern world. This is one of those books where I have to stop myself from underlining just about everything. Theologically, it is remarkably astute and instructive. Spiritually, it is as nourishing a read as any book I can remember reading.
The Cardinal's premise is that our post-modern world is so full of noise, that our own minds and souls are filled with it. Then we have spread the noise to the Church, where it most certainly does not belong. The Church in its liturgy and other practices is forgetting the ancient practice of keeping silence before God in prayer, adoration, and lectio divina; it is giving into the noise and forgetting that God Himself keeps silence. Sarah encourages the reader to rediscover the ancient, monastic urge to withdraw to the desert to hear the voice of God which can only be heard when we keep silence. This is following Jesus Christ's example, and it is a protest against the dictatorship of noise all around us in this screen- and social media-obsessed world we inhabit.Along with The Benedict Option, Sarah's book offers a clear path for Christians to resist the noise of this fake and hostile world.
accurate analysis of what has and is happening to our society and how silence has a positive effect...let your kids in on this too!
This is my first Cardinal Sarah book (I have "God or Nothing" but haven't read it - sad!). In it, he expounds on a topic that is dear to my heart but had been largely underproclaimed in the modern Church. I am Indonesian, and as an Asian I am culturally accustomed to the orderly alternating cycles of music and silence... that is, until modernity blurs all of them! Cardinal Sarah provides a refreshing and comprehensive take on the important subject of silence. He bases his reflections on his personal experience at the Carthusian Charterhouse. The Carthusian Order—some of us might have known this already—is the master practitioner of silence, both external and internal. It is certainly hard to comprehend how a group of men is able to accomplish the simple yet heavy task of being utterly silent in the presence of the Almighty. Cardinal Sarah shows how the tree of silence, when planted carefully, can have roots reaching deep and far, and fruits lush and fleshy. Silence, though seems passive, is very much active and no less of a weapon in the spiritual warfare. I'm glad the good Cardinal wrote this book!
Still working through this Wonderful, Necessary, and Most Unique book.Many of my friends have this as well and we all agree, Cardinal Sarah (pronounced Sur-RAH - like Hurrah!) has nailed the Ache, Hunger, Deep Longing palpably present within with our hearts AND the Remedy for the soul's disease in this world of chaos and noise - SILENCE. Not just Quiet - although that is a helpful start - but the Holy Silence drawing one into His Most Holy Presence. Being With God in Silence, Cultivating that cave of the heart! The cave where Elijah waited, the cave of Bethlehem, the cave holding the Body of Jesus awaiting the Resurrection....Here He teaches us to not be afraid of the Silence, not be afraid of the Dark, for He is Present.Again, like many other holy books, I have found reading this before the Blessed Sacrament the best place to BE with Him all while He is With me.....
A deeply meditative book on the value of silence, and of the difficulties in getting there.
A great truth that is needed in a chaotic world more greatly than ever. Expertly articulated, a passionate lover of Christ and the Catholic Church, tells how to add greater meaning to everything.
