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."

In Angel Numbers, world-renowned angel author Kyle Gray explains exactly what your angels and spirit guides are trying to tell you through repeated number sequences you see. In this day and age, our understanding of the cosmos is all calculated using numbers, so it’s no wonder that angels, the universe’s greatest divine messengers since the dawn of time, are using numbers to send us signs and messages from heaven. There’s a good chance you have seen number sequences appearing time and time again in your life—on license plates, purchase receipts, flight numbers and of course your phone—and these numbers aren’t just numbers, they’re angel numbers. They are angel messages and calls to action. Now that we are living in what can only be described as a digital age, angels are using the numbers we see on digital clocks, such as 11:11, 1:23, 21:12, 22:22, and 5:55 to help remind you of your higher truth. Some Example Angel Number Meanings: 12:12 You have the power to bring healing and light to the world. Notice how your intentions and actions are already doing just that. 4:44 Your guardian angels want you to know that they are with you. Your prayers are being heard loud and clear. Have faith. 1:23 You are moving up a step. All the challenges you have previously experienced are now being released. The angels of ascension are with you. “Kyle Gray is one of the world’s most incredibly gifted angel communicators. I have seen him work and he is authentic, intelligent, and deeply compassionate.

Propelled by a desire for the sacred, spiritual seekers of the Middle Ages were masters of pilgrimage, dedicated to their journeys of religious devotion. Their epic voyages took them across continents and treacherous mountain passages, and were undertaken with a keen awareness of the possible perils of the journey. Still, by faith, they went on pilgrimage in hopes of tracing the steps of Jesus in the holy city of Jerusalem. In 3000 Miles to Jesus Lisa Deam invites us to embrace the adventure of spiritual pilgrimage in our everyday lives. Bringing alive the rich stories of medieval pilgrims, she offers an intimate look at these quests for the sacred, helping us draw rich application for our walks of faith today. To take this road, we won't have to give up flushing toilets, warm beds, or cell phones. But we are invited to travel the rugged terrain of faith: journeying in risk and adventure through unfamiliar territory, across the unknown seas of the spiritual life, meeting life's difficult passages of loss, accompanied by the temptation to turn back even as we march on. In meeting challenges in the wise company of the ancient pilgrims, we learn hope and resolve as we walk a wild and wonderful way to a city that shimmers beyond a horizon we cannot yet see. We are headed for the Jerusalem of our hearts. When we understand the risks taken and the courage and conviction driving the medieval pilgrim, a bigger picture of a lifelong journey of faith comes into view. We are opened up to the sacred world before us in new and unexpected ways.
