Summary: 5 Stars
I think this book of hours is probably a must for any Merton fan. It takes his years of questioning, writing, grappling with the tough issues of living and places them in a prayerful mode.Book Review: Most thought provoking...
Summary: 5 Stars
Whether a reader of Merton's writing or not, this book is incredibly beautiful and inspiring in its poetic thought and stunning imagery. Regardless of one's faith base, the calling to internal dialogue and contemplation are compelling. I purchased several for gifts for people of various practices and those with a meditation practice.
His occassional refections which were at the time focused on the Vietnam war and situations happening in our world, again speak volumes in our present world culture. Two weeks after purchase and I have already read it in total X 3.
