THE SEVEN STOREY MOUNTAIN is an honest book. The author does not seem to conceal much about his relationships with his friends, parents, grandparents and brother or his life as a monk. His spiritual climb from being totally immersed in the world as an academic to his entry into the Trappist monastery at Gethsemany is portrayed as a torturous struggle. As the book ends the reader gets the impression that many more such battles are still in store for Merton. When setting out to read books by this author, I recommend beginning with THE SEVEN STOREY MOUNTAIN. It will leave you with a desire to read more about Merton's pilgrimage as reflected in his later works. >>More Details |

This is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. It gives a whole new perspective on praise and prayer. Thomas Merton's love of God, and the wonders of nature He created, flows from every page. At first, reading the introduction seemed long and "wordy", but as I read the "hours" I found a need to look back to the introduction, firstly for guidance, but also for more insight into Merton the man, who penned such breathtaking poetry. A book for any one wishing to deepen their own spirituality.

Merton's image of the human person is staggering. Interconnected to everything and everyone and bound together in God. This book captures the beauty, clarity and peace offered in Merton's vision. I recommend it to all Christians as well as Spiritual people interested in the kind of notion of personhood found in Christian Spirituality.

No, this is not a book for a `Survivor' wannabe, nor is it a guide for those who dream of crossing the great deserts of the world. But it is a guide of sorts, or more a companion for our pathways in life. This is a new reprinting of a collection of sayings from the desert fathers and mothers of the fourth century.
You might ask, "Who are the desert fathers and mothers, and what written in the fourth century could be of any use to us today?" and they would both be good questions. The desert fathers were people who felt Christianity was losing its way, so they decided to return to a simpler life and went to the desert to seek solitude and god. However to some extent their plan failed; soon people realized these men and women had wisdom ... Read More: >>More Details |

This book, 'Contemplative Prayer', was Thomas Merton's last book. A prolific writing on spiritual topics, Merton was perhaps in an ideal setting to be able to write about the ideas and methods of contemplative prayer, being a Trappist. Trappists devote themselves to prayer, adding the disciplines of silence and solitude, things that are needed for the contemplative side of things to emerge. In the introduction by Merton's friend, Thich Nhat Hanh, there is a nine-fold prayer that relates to many of Merton's ideas about contemplative prayer. However, it is a mistake (and both Hanh in the introduction and Merton in the text mention this) to think that prayer is something in and of itself - Christians and Buddhists tend to have the understanding ...
