Voices of Famous Spiritual Leaders Audiobook, by Arthur Ford

Publisher Description

The Seven Storey Mountain is the extraordinary spiritual testament of Thomas Merton (1915-1968), a man who experienced life to its fullest in the world before entering a Trappist monastery. By the end of his life, he had become one of the 20th century's best-known and beloved Christian voices. This autobiography deals...not with what happens to a man, but what happens inside his soul.

"An interesting and fascinating self-portrait of a man who describes a life lived by so many and a change that so few make. Deep and rich, this book was a challenge to read and yet kept me reading. One does not have to be a Catholic to understand the journey Merton describes in this book. "

    " Incredible! And while it's obviously Catholic in focus (Merton is a Cistercian monk), the message is hardly exclusively Catholic. In the end, Merton's message is for some kind of contemplation that is then to be shared with the world. "
