The Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Merton

5.0

462 pages is a bit long for an autobiography of faith. At times it felt drawn out and boring, but by the end I was so invested it was worth the length. I've never read something where I felt so strongly that the author had written it just for me. I'm sure a lot of people feel that way when they read it. It's so beautiful, profound, relatable, challenging.... It brought me to tears, it brought me to my knees in prayer, and it brought peace to my scattered brain. I would love to read more of his poetry. So good! So, so, so good.
