 Thomas Merton - A Book of Hours December 28, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The whole world should read and believe Thomas Merton! This is an artfully put together book. It adds that needed something for every day. It is one of the best inspirational works I have seen or read or used on a daily basis! If you haven't seen it - find it and use it. It will not only change you as an individual but if we could get everyone to believe the truth held here, it could change the world!
 "True Title/False Title" December 23, 2007

Although this book is aesthetically pleasing, and Fr. Merton's writings are always solid spiritual food, to call this book "A Book of Hours" (or a 'breviary') as the authors do is misleading...It has no Scriptural content at all; something a serious reader expects in a book of this kind.
Pray-er/buyer/reader be aware.

for the sheer wisdom and moments of meditative peace that this book has given my wife and I it deserves 10 stars. Take a moment of quiet solitude and reflect. Wonderful inspiring thoughts are written in these pages.

This is a marvelous collection of writings from the works of Thomas Merton, the Trappist Monk, assembled in the form of a book of hours. Even if you are not particularly knowledgable about Merton's writings, you will find his comments on so many aspects of the spiritual life meaningful and tantalizing, you will want to study his works further. The author does include an index that gives the source of each selection included for the particular time and day of the week. Although he lived from 1915 - 1968, you will feel he is writing for right now. Included are writings for Dawn, Day, Dusk and Dark on each day of the week. You might think that only seven days would not be enough to keep you interested. But, as with much of Holy Scripture, something new and fresh appears with repetition. The author includes an informed introduction to her selections for Thomas Merton: A Book of Hours.
Pray Thomas Merton! September 12, 2007

A fantastic Book of Hours from the writings of Thomas Merton, which includes passages from his poetry and other writings not encountered by those who have read his journals or his most popular books. This was a new side of Merton for me, and I found it to be wonderful. The prayers and readings in this book reflect new areas of encounter with God that I had not experienced in his writing before. Highly recommended!
