Thomas Merton –My brother

This unique volume contains not only a wealth of information about Thomas Merton, but also many insights that come from one who lives the life Merton lived. “One rarely writes a formal biography of one’s brother,” says Pennington. “Rather, memories are shared, vignettes are drawn.”

M. Basil Pennington is a Cistercian monk from St. Joseph’s Abbey, Spencer, MA. He is considered one of the leading contemporary spiritual writers and is the author of such classics as Call to the Center, Thomas Merton – My Brother, Daily We Touch Him, and A Place Apart.
