Compiled from seven volumes of personal journals, this book contains the
best of Merton's writings on his struggle to live an authentic religious
life. Merton's spirituality is not merely personal, but global in its scope,
and we get to savor many aspects of his political and social activism in
these pages, from his civil rights involvement to his friendships with the
Dalai Lama, Dorothy Day, Dan Berrigan, Joan Baez, D. T. Suzuki and other
notables.
