One of the most famous books ever written about a manโs search for faith and peace. 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 ordersโthe 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. Translated into more than twenty languages, it has touched millions of lives. Review: An outstanding spiritual autobiography - I read this 466 pages long autobiography of Thomas Merton slowly . I like the way Thomas Merton evolved spiritually through introspection, solitude,writing and perseverance. It is one of the best book on spiritual evolution I have read. I will read it again . Reading this book is worth your time . Review: A Remarkable Journey towards Spiritual Awakening - This is a very finely written, honest and touching account of Thomas Merton's journey from childhood to youth and onwards to his joining the Cistercian catholic (Trappist) Monastery in Kentucky in 1941 to dedicate his life to the awakening of the immanent Christ within his own increasingly refined consciousness. A wonderful read for people seeking a higher meaning in life, in the midst of the swirl of their daily mundane activities, with an underlying message that higher Intuitive spiritual awareness demands willing acceptance of the Almighty's Will: "Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven" TK

Great classic with timeless Spiritual value
What a lovely book and story from Thomas Merton. Timeless spiritual journey that never fails to inspire. His writing style is splendid - and makes even the most rustic part of his journey come to vibrancy. Most importantly, this is a story of Mertonโs great love of the Lord. Oneโs Spiritual journey would be the better with Mertonโs reflections being one of the formative elements to it.

Thomas Merton at his best
This is a must-read for everyone wanting to know more about the Trappist monk Thomas Merton. I myself decided to start off with his biography and eventually move on to his other books. His autobiography really lights the way to a man who was a real searcher of truth and God. I believe he found both. Sadly, his untimely passing in 1968 shows once more, that great souls are not always accepted in this illusionary world.
