Merton's Palace of Nowhere

The author has mined a rich vein of Thomas Merton's thought--the quest for spiritual identity--and offers a guide to the difficult journey leading from an awareness of a false and illusory self to a realization of the true self. Offers fresh insight to a major spiritual thinker of our time, a guide to our spiritual journey and a participatory look at Merton's approach to prayer and contemplation.
