New Seeds of Contemplation by Thomas Merton

3.0

Skimmed. I’m new to Merton, so I didn’t know what to expect. For every grain of insight I found just as much long-winded sermon speak. I did find his crankiness with regards to urban life and consumerism pretty charming. If you didn’t know he was a monk before you read this, you definitely pick it up in context.
