In this diary-like memoir, the essence of Thomas Merton's spiritual journey unfolds through poignant journal entries spanning twenty-nine years. Culled from seven volumes of personal reflections, this work deepens the narrative Merton famously shared in The Seven Storey Mountain. It offers a spiritual autobiography of one of the century's most celebrated monks, revealing the wisdom he gained as an enduring spiritual teacher. Merton candidly addresses life's major challenges, his confrontations with monastic and church hierarchies, and his engagement with diverse religious traditions. His antiwar and civil rights activism further enriches this exploration. The memoir showcases Merton's art of "confession and witness," as he seeks a contemporary, authentic, and global spirituality. From his early days in the monastery to his journey to meet the Dalai Lama, it reveals a life dedicated to the pursuit of meaning, equanimity, and love. The Intimate Merton captures the essence of his journey, highlighting the relevance of his experiences and insights. Merton himself believed that his best writing emerged from his journals, making this collection a profound testament to his spiritual legacy.
