by Richard Rohr (Get the Book)In this brief but effective book, Rohr (Breathing Under Water: Spirituality and the Twelve Steps) commends silence to us as a function of the spiritual life, a component both of our own wholeness and our connection to nature and, ultimately, to God. -Silence is not a mere cessation of noise, he explains, but has its own qualities, which can be learned and cultivated. VERDICT Rohr's book brings the appreciative reader close to the spirit of the monastic life; it should please and instruct many an individual seeker, across denominations. --Library Journal
