. Merton, who died in 1968, was a Trappist monk, peace activist and well-loved author of spiritual classics such as The Seven Storey Mountain. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Publishers Weekly This is the fourth of seven planned volumes of Merton's private journal. Above all, Merton's intellectual curiosity about a number of matters?including international and Vatican politics, architecture and his personal relationships?marks this fascinating journal. This journal reflects a time in Merton's life when he is trying to balance his popularity as an author and speaker with his vows of silence as a Trappist monk, his pacifism and his political beliefs with his submission to the authority of the Roman Catholic hierarchy. Neither mundane nor egotistical, these journal entries demonstrate Merton's characteristic humor and warmthBut the most amazing thing about the book is that, not only does she make these divine beings familiar and accessible, but she also gives us hope that we can attain such an elevated state ourselves. I think four is too low as it so excellently presented, but there is one problem. So must yours in months and years to come.. I use it for the foundation of my business as well as use it when I need inspiration or to be put back on the proper track.It is so well written and his examples are very easy to follow along with. It was perfect.. I've been looking for a low carb asian stir fry and now I've found it. It's too bad he didn't realize what he had until he lost her. The story is so believeable and the feelings thye seem so true. I have no idea where he is going with this and it certainly isn't ecological. What I thought was valuable is that this book tells a truthful story about the efforts of one man, a man with no prior training in ministry, flying only on faith, trying to do something to help at risk kids in Malawi. I'm planning to make several of them to give away as Christmas presents and I've thought of at least two people I'm going to buy the book for for Christmas! I can tell this book is going to make me leave my sewing machine out stay up late way too many nights.. Iraq was a win by a gnat's eyelash. Lots of photos. The two older sons succumb toand the March on Selma, the Catholic Worker Movement, the Vietnam war, and the assassination of John F. The 60s were a time of restlessness, inner turmoil, and exuberance for Merton during which he closely followed the careening development of political and social activism - Martin Luther King, Jr. Kennedy. Volume 5 chronicles the approach of Merton's 50th birthday and marks his move to Mount Olivet, his hermitage at the Abbey of Gethsemani, where he was finally able to fully embrace the joys and challenges of solitary life.
