Description
Let me listen, now, to the voice of the Lord God within me; it is a message of peace he sends to his people; to his loyal servants, that come back, now, to take counsel of their hearts. Psalm 84:9
Benedict Baur, the Archabbot of Beuron Abbey, is one of a few great names in the realm of spiritual literature. In Silence With God bears testimony to that greatness. Here is a compendium of the contemplative life, at once a handbook for the novice and a constant companion for the initiated.
As Dom Placed Jordan (Max Jordan), himself a monk under the guidance of Benedict Baur, tells us in the rewarding introduction to this new edition of the book, the interior life is a "challenge to modern times." Our era is, indeed, a loquacious and extroverted time concerned with surface things. Yet Christ would have us follow Him, and we who say we are Christians imply that we do. But to do this, we must have that silence of soul that hears the counsels of God. For that is the way of the Christian life, and that is the way of this book.
Taken from the front inside flap.
Introduction by Placid Jordan, O.S.B.
Translated from the Fourth German Edition by Elisabethe Corathiel-Noonan.
