Unknown Author

4.9/5 (23800 ratings)

Description:Shortly after entering the monastic life in December 1941, a relatively unknown Trappist monk called Frater Louis--who would later be known to the world by his given name, Thomas Merton--began to pen biographical sketches of early Cistercian blessed and saints. These were initially collected, printed, and bound inexpensively, with no mention of the author, by the Abbey of Gethsemani. They are now published here for a wide audience for the first time. This work of the very young Merton perhaps takes on added significance when one considers the writing that lay just ahead of him at the time. In 1948, his autobiography, The Seven Storey Mountain, was published and soon became an unexpected national bestseller. This long-awaited publication of In the Valley of Wormwood offers a window into Merton's thinking and his spiritual life just a few years before his phenomenal autobiography would see the light of day.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
