Description
Thomas Merton is one of the most influential American spiritual writers of the past century. Thousands have drawn strength from his words and the witness of his life. He was able to distill the best writings of theologians, philosophers, and poets over the centuries, from both the West and the East, and present their ideas in the context of the Christian worldview. This book provides a portal into the monastic vocation of Thomas Merton and gives us a snapshot of his entire life. His words encourage readers to embrace their own vocation as baptized Christians, as members of the human family, and as people in relationship.
