The redemption of humanity depends on the few who, in the midst of the world's turmoil, know how to practice silence with God.  This practice of silence has become even more challenging in the 60 years since Fr. Benedict Baur wrote this book.  The short chapters offer insights into the full panorama of a Christian life -- the universal call to holiness, the struggle against sin and temptation, the danger of self-love, the importance of humility, the practice of prayer, and fraternal love.
