NO ONE HEARS BUT HIM

by Taylor Caldwell ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 4, 1966

This is a sequel to The Listener (1960), a series of simplistic sermonettes in story form of unhappy people who make their way to the sanctuary of ""the man who listens""-- ""truly involved, truly compassionate, truly loving, truly faithful, truly understanding."" Verily.... Soul One is Fred Carlson, a policeman who is about to give up his beat, but returns to be a ""watchman of the night""; Soul Two is a woman whose child is dying of leukemia; Soul Three has lost his daughter, his money, and is about to lose his wife; Soul Four is a Negro; and so it goes, and there are twelve souls in all searching for some supernal comfort-- ""voices of children, piping simply;... of young men and women, of holy souls in cloisters, of lonely souls in private wildernesses and in private anguish;"" etc., etc., etc. We will not sit in judgment but will only say that this is only a guided missal for her devotional readership which found that the earlier book paraphrased some of their problems and reassured them. The guess is that somebody not only hears but also reads.
