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(); });
