"Merton was one of the most important spiritual writers of the century, a monk and writer widely acknowledged as . . . one who has deep and intuitive wisdom about the ways of the spiritual life." —Anne Carr"The new edition of Thomas Merton's essays are representative of some of his finest work." —The Merton Seasonal"Many years ahead of his time—as all serious prophets are—Merton saw the necessary link between contemplation and social action." —Values and Visions Reviews Service"From the point of view of a religious practitioner and, in particular, as a monastic, Thomas Merton really is someone that we can look up to . . . the impact of meeting him will remain till my last breath." —H.
