Review Quotes
"[Merton] is an incredible source of light and comfort and humor." -- Anne Lamott
"[Thomas Merton] is perhaps the proper patron saint of our information-saturated age, of we who live and move and have our being in social media, and then, desperate for peace and rest, withdraw into privacy and silence, only to return. As we always will." -- The New Yorker
