Book Review: Meditation and Prayer Summary: 5 StarsMany of us get so busy each day that when we try to pray or meditate, the world crowds in on us. This book is simply a guide to meditation and prayer and has been a Godsend to me.
Book Review: a book of hours Summary: 5 StarsA small book (nice size to take along} loaded with images to enjoy, contemplate and put to use. Thomas Mertons writing is a nice mix of beautiful poetry and deep thoughts.
Book Review: A Must Summary: 5 StarsI 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 StarsWhether 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.
