Book description
“The Shattering of Loneliness is an extraordinary book: not too long but richly dense; profound in its insights and scholarship yet eminently readable; and though clearly written by a monk happy to be a monk, it has asmuch relevance to the ordinary Christian as to the Trappist monks in the author's care.” —Catholic Herald“Intimately personal but never self-indulgent, it is at once arresting and challenging, uplifting and reassuring, and profoundly moving … The richness of this remarkable book is impossible to convey adequately in so few words. No reader will remain unchanged.” —Tablet“Absorbing and fascinating ... It is a book to be read more than once.” —Methodist Recorder"The Shattering of Loneliness is a book of extraordinary importance. It is, with prophetic clarity, aware of the depravity, the weakness and the glory of the human condition." - TLS"Generates deep and unexpected insights [...] Like the memory of a meaningful conversation long after you’ve forgotten what was said. It is unforgettable." - Catholic World Report"The book effects something like a walk with God at the breezy time of day; like the memory of a meaningful conversation long after you’ve forgotten what was said. It is unforgettable." - The Catholic World Report jQuery(function() { jQuery( "#tabs" ).tabs(); });
