- The Seven Storey Mountain tells of the growing restlessness of a brilliant and passionate young man, who at the age of twenty-six, takes vows in one of the most demanding Catholic orders-the Trappist monks. At the Abbey of Gethsemani, "the four walls of my new freedom," Thomas Merton struggles to withdraw from the world, but only after he has fully immersed himself in it. At the abbey, he wrote this extraordinary testament, a unique spiritual autobiography that has been recognized as one of the most influential religious works of our time.
What a beautiful story. I’m reading Seeds of Contemplation right now so it’s nice to know about the person who wrote it.
Thank you 🙏 wonderfully read
A real treat. I first READ it so long ago that it was all new to me. I have considered Thomas Merton my spiritual brother since my first read. Thanks.
Likewise. So grateful for men like Thomas. I wish I still had the book so I'm grateful for this. God bless!
Thanks for this. I whetted my apetite by listening and I've now discovered thay the printed book has longer sections missing in this audio. Merton was a good writer and I'm enjoying the book.
Yes, the audio version is abridged. I should have specified in the description. Glad it inspired you to read the print version. I agree, it is much better!
Thank You so much for this... 🌹🌌
Uniquely powerful...really different from his later works
Great book 📖
Short read for a big book. At least it's not a robot...thanks
The revival of Stoic literature, Machiavellian principles, human psychology, while all great disciplines to study, Thomas Merton took the study of self and God to a higher peak.
Thank you
Thanks for this.
This is abridged. Still thanks!
Thank you
Thank you for letting me know! I’ll look for the unabridged version. I thought it was short

I don’t think it was all that good I mean we’re is the good part
"We're is?" What does that mean?
@@yretsymsdees1092smart arse
I didn’t have the heart to let him know 😂
@@yretsymsdees1092I doubt Merton would have responded like that… clearly he meant where is the good part.
It’s not that good
I'm sure that if Thomas Merton were alive today, he would appreciate your thoughtful critique :)
