This book provides a laser-sharp profile of the Trappist monk's struggle with the spiritual discipline of solitude. Merton was often pulled out of the orb of silence and meditation by the press of friends, writing assignments, and other intrusions. Griffin celebrates this monk's true vocation--"to be always leaping over the cliffs of the spiritual life."
