Dialogues with Silence invites the reader to enter into that sacred realm of contemplation where we listen in silence and await the divine presence in our lives, where emptiness becomes the juncture for the interchange between the outer and inner worlds, where darkness is transformed into light - the place where the voice of God is revealed.

“Whether you’re a long-time Merton fan or need an introduction, Dialogues with Silence is a great unveiling.” - BookPage
“[These drawings and prayers] reflect a devotional life stripped of pretense, open to God’s surprises.” - Christian Century
"[Thomas Merton] is perhaps the proper patron saint of our information-saturated age, of we who live and move and have our being in social media, and then, desperate for peace and rest, withdraw into privacy and silence, only to return. As we always will." - The New Yorker
