A book for those who know and love Merton...and those ready to discover his gift for speaking to the human spirit. Since his death in Bangkok, Thailand, on December 10, 1968, Thomas Merton's influence in both Christian and non-Christian spiritual traditions has grown unabated. 'Meditations With Merton' is a collage of reflections, with Merton as your guide. Centered on selected passages from Merton's writings, Verploegen has written 30 brief meditations on themes such as personal integrity, sanctity, identity, integration, God, labor, solidarity and service, words of God, God's will, and love. Related Scripture passages and an original prayer complete each meditation.
