Description
How to enter into the immense, healing silence of God... Molchanie is Russian for "silence." In language poetic and meditative yet direct and simple, the author invites us to share her own pilgrimage into God's silence. It lasts as long as one's life, and involves purification, union with God, work and suffering, culminating in the miraculous experience of the divine silence. Much of Molchanie is allegory, full of visions and imagination--it is an allegorical pilgrimage. "This is a book for all, but especially for very busy people. No special learning is required. If one can read the Gospel, one can read Molchanie. Those who are weary and a bit battered by life, its pressures and tumult, will find here refreshment and joy." - St. Anthony Messenger
