The Life of Prayer and the Power of Stillness

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis superb collection unites two of A. B. Simpson's finest works, which together advise and counsel Christians who wish to live a harmonious existence close to God. Written at the beginning of the 20th century, Simpson's guidance retains its freshness and impact despite the long lapse of time. His evangelical spirit was convinced in the truth of his God-divined words, and he partly attributed the success of missions he oversaw to the profundity of his words and hymns. The first work, The Life of Prayer, examines the need for Christian prayer and reflection from multiple perspectives. Quoting the New Testament scriptures, Simpson expounds on the words of the gospels, explaining their continued importance to the faithful in the present day. The second paper, The Power of Stillness, is a short but sublime meditation on the importance of a moment's contemplative silence. That moment of quiet which follows a concluded prayer, recited hymn, or indeed much music in the church or outside it, is discussed.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNow 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."
