"The Power Of Silence: Against the Dictatorship of Noise" by Robert Cardinal Sarah is a beautiful collection of observations, thoughts, and prayers about the nature of silence, its holiness, and its relationship to Love, God, Peace, Joy and more. Broken into sections on silence and human nature, the scriptural history of silence, and how silence connects the individual to God. Written as a series of questions and responses with Nicolas Diat at Grand Chartreaux, a Carthusian monastary in the French Alps, it poignantly touches on the noiseness of the world today and how we have forgotten how to live quiet lives, both externally and internally. While absolutely beautiful, some of the theological discussions have an intimidating depth. Not the simpliest read but every moment is well worth it [5/5]
