SynopsisNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER · THE CLASSIC BESTSELLER WITH MORE THAN 2 MILLION SOLD "[Merton] is an incredible source of light and comfort and humor." - Anne Lamott The famous autobiography of one of the most acclaimed faith leaders and theologians of our time. Credited as being the first major Catholic book to achieve widespread popularity in America, Thomas Merton's spiritual evolution has captivated millions since its publication. Based on Merton's personal journals, The Seven Storey Mountain tells of the growing restlessness of a brilliant and passionate young man, who at the age of twenty-six, takes vows in one of the most demanding Catholic orders--the Trappist monks. At the Abbey of Gethsemani, "the four walls of my new freedom," Thomas Merton struggles to withdraw from the world, but only after he has fully immersed himself in it. At the abbey, he wrote this extraordinary testament, a unique spiritual autobiography that has been recognized as one of the most influential religious works of our time. In this remarkable book, readers will gain insight into: · How spiritual fulfillment leads to the deepest form of self-discovery · The true redemption that comes from forgiving ourselves and past sins · The sacred power of vulnerability and relinquishing control · How to navigate our desires, discouragements, possibilities, and limitations · How our cumulative lived experiences broaden our cultural acceptance · What it truly means to be human in the world Arriving on the heels of the devastation of WWII, Merton's compellingly passionate words touched a society longing for direction and a true sense of purpose. This work continues to inspire and motivate both present day believers and non-believers alike, through intimate discussions of the power of the human spirit during times of suffering and immense self-doubt. While Merton's story is uncommon, his experiences are universal - touching those of all backgrounds and identities. The immediacy of his words and reflections bring solace to an anxious world. Translated into more than twenty languages and for readers of Jennie Allen, Brené Brown, and Flannery O'Connor, this spiritual journey towards enlightenment exposes the trials and tribulations that give our lives their ultimate meaning. "The more you try to avoid suffering, the more you suffer, because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you, in proportion to your fear of being hurt. The one who does most to avoid suffering is, in the end, the one who suffers most.", A modern-day Confessions of Saint Augustine, The Seven Storey Mountain is one of the most influential religious works of the twentieth century. This edition contains an introduction by Merton's editor, Robert Giroux, and a note to the reader by biographer William H. Shannon. It tells of the growing restlessness of a brilliant and passionate young man whose search for peace and faith leads him, at the age of twenty-six, to take vows in one of the most demanding Catholic orders--the Trappist monks. At the Abbey of Gethsemani, "the four walls of my new freedom," Thomas Merton struggles to withdraw from the world, but only after he has fully immersed himself in it. The Seven Storey Mountain has been a favorite of readers ranging from Graham Greene to Claire Booth Luce, Eldridge Cleaver, and Frank McCourt. And, in the half-century since its original publication, this timeless spiritual tome has been published in over twenty languages and has touched millions of lives., A modern spiritual classic chronicles the journey of a restless, intelligent young man buffeted by the social and political winds of the early twentieth century as he decides to join a Trappist monastery., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - THE CLASSIC BESTSELLER WITH MORE THAN 2 MILLION SOLD "[Merton] is an incredible source of light and comfort and humor." - Anne Lamott The famous autobiography of one of the most acclaimed faith leaders and theologians of our time.
