No One Sees God: The Dark Night of Atheists and Believers
Praise forNo One Sees God“This book is one of the most lyrical and moving reflections on God I have encountered. It is also remarkably generous, both to believers and nonbelievers. Most helpfully it is about how to pray, and how to suffer through the dark night in which answers, and communication, seem absent. A remarkable book by a remarkable man.” --Peggy Noonan,Wall Street Journalcolumnist, author ofJohn Paul the Great"Over the years, Michael Novak has explored with great insight the relationship between religion, society, and the individual. Here he engages with the recent intellectual challenges to religion and provides the perspective of a profound believer who knows what it is like to wrestle with doubt."--Walter Isaacson, CEO of the Aspen Institute, author ofEinstein: His Life and Universe“Intensely personal and yet intellectually wide-ranging, this book shows Michael Novak at his best.No One Sees Godconveys a depth, erudition, generosity of spirit, and wisdom that simply transcend anything that the new atheists have to offer.”--Dinesh D'Souza, author ofWhat's So Great About Christianity“This new book by Michael Novak is one of the most fascinating reflections on the God known through reason that I have ever encountered, the God whom we trust in shadow and in light, in defeat as well as in victory. Many, many readers will recognize in these pages elements of their own experience.”--Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, author ofRediscovering God in America“Michael Novak's new book counts as both significant and moving. He deploys logic and love, emotion and erudition, to address the most enduring questions of our existence.”--Michael Medved, nationally syndicated talk-radio host, author ofRight Turns"The word 'dialogical' might have been invented to describe Michael Novak. With great patience and lucidity he engages believers, unbelievers, and those who don't know what they believe in a conversation about the things that matter most." — Fr. Richard John Neuhaus, Editor in Chief ofFirst Things
