Pocket book of wisdom
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Small in size, but a wealth of information and inspiration... I keep a copy in my handbag and open it periodically when I'm struggling with moral questions, etc. It is not meant to be read cover to cover, but rather a source of reflection and meditation.
Insightful- a must read.....

I highly recommend this book for all who, on their spiritual path, wish to fine-tune the way of meditation/ contemplation. This particular book is one of Shambala's pocket classics and because of its size can be carried around (for those many times one finds oneself waiting- the doctor's office for instance). Merton addresses the finer points of being a Christian, but this book is a gem for all who have a spiritual path AND an open mind..... Check it out !!
It packs a punch

The book itself is compact, sturdy and handsome. Multiple small passages are well organized around themes. Each passage is rich in content so it is natural for the reader to go slowly and savor all the nuances. An excellent showcase of Thomas Merton's spirit and complexity. It is greatly appreciated.
