Audiobook: The Seven Storey Mountain
Thomas Merton (1915-1968) was a Trappist monk, theologian, mystic, and prolific writer known for his deep spiritual insights. Born in France and raised in the United States, Merton entered the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky, where he spent most of his life in contemplative prayer and study. His autobiography, "The Seven Storey Mountain," became a bestseller and showcased his spiritual journey. Merton engaged in interfaith dialogue, exploring connections between Eastern and Western spiritual traditions. His writings on social justice, peace, and contemplative living continue to inspire people around the world.
