In this unique meditation on the life and writings of Thomas Merton, we have a rich sampler of Merton's words on the spiritual life. The author expressed the hope that his short chapters "will lead to an attentive meditation of Merton's own writings and to a continuing seeking for a contemplative foundation of our own fragmented restless lives.
