The photos in this edition are what I most prize...other books on Thomas Merton have no visuals of his life activities...

Thomas Merton's life, warts and all. There are generally two reactions when people find out that spiritually-inspiring people have warts.

2090 The Seven Mountains of Thomas Merton, by Michael Mott (read 31 Jul 1987) This is a 1984 biography. Merton was born in France on Jan 31, 1915, and died in Bangkok, Thailand, on Dec 10, 1968. I enjoyed the first part of the book, but from 1965 on Merton was increasingly unstable in his vocation--even carrying on with a nurse to some extent--and some of his ideas are far too much for me. I would like to read some of his early works. I also would like to visit Gethsemani in Kentucky.
