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.

A must read
Everyone will benefit from reading this book. it should be on the reading list of every political, cultural and religious leader. It reveals the roots of the problems that assail our societies in the West and shows how the paths we are on are leading to eventual social fragmentation and breakdown. Sadly those most in need of reading it will be closed to doing so.

The cardinal pulls no punches on the West
With all due respect to the reader, who read in an even and consistent tone, I'd prefer a French accent. It's good to get a Francophone perspective as well as an African one. The content is dynamite. What an inspiration!

Love this book!!! Love Cardinal Sarah!!!
This book hits every nail straight on the head. It's easy to follow yet very thought provoking. I love how Cardinal Sarah puts his faith into words. It has really inspired me, to me much more confident with charity to be outspoken in my faith. Especially with people who are unlikely to share the same view.

Drivel
This is obviously just my opinion and others may not agree but to me, It’s extremely boring and long winded. It’s more about the musings and inner monologue of an old cleric than a reality check about specific events unfolding and transforming the church, lots of what we should be or could do with a few references to the gospel or speeches given by pope thrown in. I was expecting to read a frank and honest book about the corruption, changes introduced by Vatican 2, the direction of the church and why it seems in opposition sometimes to the very word of God etc.
It may contain more and get better as the book progresses but I didn’t make it any further than a few chapters and long before then I was finding myself to be frustrated by listening to it. Whilst listening, I Pictured in my head, an old guy sitting in his office, overlooking Vatican City, bored out of his mind, contemplating the religious world he lives in and allowing his inner monologue to spill out onto the keyboard of his PC. 😁
