A review by jbmorgan86
The Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Merton

In order to get to Paradiso, Dante must climb the seven story Mountain of Purgatorio. This is also the story of the Trappist monk, Thomas Merton. This is the story of all Christians.

In this spiritual biography, Merton (in the style of Augustine's _Confessions_) recounts his pilgrimage to the monastery.

There are nuggets of wisdom scattered throughout the book. My minor review of this classic is not enough to do it justice.
