Summary
Robert Sarah, Nicolas Diat: God or Nothing Conversation on Faith
The book God or Nothing - Conversation on Faith by a very close associate of Pope Francis, is a true success that has already been translated into twenty world languages. In an exclusive interview that the Cardinal gave to the renowned expert on Vatican and church affairs, Nicolas Diat, he very engaged and deeply spiritually touches on the topics of the modern Church, the popes, Rome, the modern world, Africa, the West, morality, truth and evil, and in all of this it is always about God.
"Cardinal Robert Sarah has an extraordinary biography, although he himself is convinced that his life is completely ordinary. Cardinal Robert Sarah is for God a companion, a man of mercy and forgiveness, a man of silence, a good man (...) And if only one passage of this book should be remembered, then it is undoubtedly the cardinal's confidence, which refers to the moment when it seemed that it would not be possible for him to assume the episcopal office, because of all the political, economic and social difficulties in Guinea. Then Robert Sarah went to a secluded place, far from noise and anger, to focus on God, fasting for several days without food and water, The Eucharist and the Bible is the whole personality of the Holy Spirit. His message really matches the message of Pope Paul VI in 1970: "Everyone should learn to pray within himself. Every soul is a temple." would we worship God, who is present in it? Shall we be empty souls, even though we are Christians, empty souls, who forget the mysterious and ineffable encounter, the childlike and rapturous dialogue, which God, God in three persons, has deigned to provide us with in our interior?' (...) Like a monk, he is also aware that the monotony and repetition of the passing days are a hidden refuge for an unadulterated encounter with God. How many times has the course of his life confirmed to him that God is always waiting for him a little further..." - Cardinal Josip Bozanić writes about this exceptional book.
This is the 1st volume in the series "Conversations and Testimonies" of the "Polazište" library of the Christian Present.
