Publisher's Summary

In this powerful audiobook by the acclaimed spiritual leader and best-selling writer, one he calls his "most important", he analyzes the profound spiritual, moral, and political crisis in the contemporary world. He says that he "considers that the decadence of our time has all the faces of mortal peril."

"At the root of the collapse of the West, there is a cultural identity crisis. The West no longer knows who it is, because it no longer knows and does not want to know who made it, who established it, as it was and as it is. Many countries today ignore their own history. This self-suffocation naturally leads to a decadence that opens the path to new, barbaric civilizations."

In these words, Cardinal Sarah summarizes the theme of his audiobook. His finding is simple: Our world is on the brink of the abyss. Crisis of faith and of the Church, decline of the West, betrayal by its elites, moral relativism, endless globalism, unbridled capitalism, new ideologies, political exhaustion, movements inspired by Islamist totalitarianism.... The time has come for an unflinching diagnosis.

While making clear the gravity of the crisis through which the West has gone, the Cardinal demonstrates that it is possible to avoid the hell of a world without God, a world without man, a world without hope.

After the great international success of his first two books, God or Nothing and The Power of Silence, Cardinal Sarah offers a wide-ranging reflection on the crisis of the contemporary world while teaching many important spiritual lessons.

Excellente découverte! Je recommande à tous.

Je ne connaissais pas spécialement bien Robert Cardinal Sarah avant d'écouter ce livre audio. Je suis agréablement surpris par cette découverte. Un homme de Dieu conservateur et traditionnel avec une histoire incroyable. Bon diagnostique des maux de notre époque. Je recommande aux chrétiens de toutes les confessions.

In our day, this is an essential read!

So thorough, so brilliant, so essential, and so full of all that is good, true, and beautiful! it speaks to the causation of the growing cultural brokenness and the resolve we must all have in response. An essential read for all. The truly Christian and justice-oriented non-Christian alike, struggling in the face of the growing evil of our times, will be edified by this read!
