On episode #156, I spoke with the Fr. Robert Nixon about his recently translated book, Solitude and Silence: The Cloister of the Heart, which was written by Thomas à Kempis.

During our conversation, we covered:

- Thomas à Kempis' writings and life
- Why Fr. Nixon decided to translate his book
- The importance of practicing silence in solitude for the lay faithful
- And much more...
