▼▲Author Bio
▼▲Thomas Merton was a monk at the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky, author of a famous autobiography, The Seven Storey Mountain, and some of the classic works of spirituality in the twentieth century, including New Seeds of Contemplation and Zen and the Birds of Appetite. He died an accidental death in Bangkok in December 1968 after visiting the Dalai Lama in exile in Dharamsala. His other friends included Thich Nhat Hanh and Martin Luther King, Jr.
Editorial Reviews
▼▲This collection of memories from Mertons former students provides a valuable opportunity to go beyond the Merton we encounter from his books and private journals to see him as his students and fellow monks saw himas a teacher, spiritual director, and friend. -Gregory K. Hillis, Professor of Theology & Religious Studies, Bellarmine University; author, Man of Dialogue: Thomas Mertons Catholic Vision
"For those unfamiliar with the work of Jon M. Sweeney or Thomas Merton, this book may serve as an appetizer for a larger meal to come. Seasoned readers of Sweeney or Merton may find this more like dessert. For all of us, this should challenge our biases when we think weve already figured someone out. People even those we know well still have much to reveal."-- Anthony Nuccio, Spirituality and Practice
