Media Reviews
[This book] can only deepen and add weight to our respect for this scrupulous, devoted, and tormented man. --Ron Carlson, author of Five Skies
An accurate portrayal of Thomas Merton. He had a great need for love. --Dr. Rudy Bernard, Merton's fellow monk at Gethsemani
This book will provide people with a new view of the deeply human, but transcendent, love story of Thomas Merton--loving God and loving a woman. [It will be] a great contribution to the spiritual journey of thousands of people. --Dr. Lewis Rambo, Professor of Pastoral Psychology at San Francisco Theological Seminary, and conversion expert
This book permits us to find what is inspirational about Merton--his strength and determination to overcome, and at times accept, his human frailness and vulnerability all while battling for self-discovery and solace. --Patrick Hasburgh, author of Aspen Pulp
