They Speak by Silences
A Carthusian
These readings were born in the silence and solitude of a Charterhouse, and their anonymity is part of that silence. First published in 1948 it has allowed Carthusian wisdom and spirituality to reach the widest possible audience. This new and widely requested edition carries on the tradition. It will provide perfect material for daily reading and reflection for newcomers to Carthusian spirituality and equally for those who have already discovered the riches it has to offer.0

The Wound of Love
A Carthusian Miscellany
What is Carthusian life really like? What actually goes on in the Charterhouse? Is the Order's ancient mixture of carefully regulated solitary and community life a hopeless harking back to the Middle Ages, or is it relevant to modern lifestyles and problems? If any book can answer these questions, it is The Wound of Love, which provides background information on the Carthusian Order, including letters from St Bruno, its founder, and a reflection on Bruno's continuing significance today. The many concerns of Carthusian life are evident here; solitude, fraternal love, prayer, monastic vows, work and liturgy, and each is tackled with great honesty, wit and wisdom.
