life with familiar Merton quotations. She also provides her own
helpful thoughts and reflections and includes a number of
quotations from the Psalms. The end result is a carefully-prepared
retreat in the company of Thomas Merton ... This book makes me want
once again to follow Merton's guidance and teaching.' -- Sister
