### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Have this book handy.
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2018*

I own and have joyfully read many of Thomas Merton’s books. (I just counted them.  Twenty.  Well, twenty-one with this new one.)  This little book has the advantage of including writings from other sources as well as selected highlights from all his books and placed in categories.  The four major sections of the book are:  Real and False Selves, the World We Live In, Antidotes to Illusion, and Love in Action.  I find Merton to be a person who was truly ahead of his time.  Although he was a Catholic monk who died, sorrowfully too soon, in 1968, his words still speak to us today.  Maybe we are more ready to hear them now.  Pope Francis named Merton, along with Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Dorothy Day  as the four great, prophetic figures in American History.  Merton was just beginning to explore more deeply and enter into more dialogue with the religions of the East when his accidental death occurred at a meeting in Thailand.  Another of his gifts was his insight into the technological age in which, he says, “We fly in all directions to sell ourselves.”  His “theology of love,” he says, “must seek to deal realistically with the evil and injustice in the world, and not merely to compromise with them.”  And, “He who attempts to act and do things for others or for the world without deepening his own self-understanding, freedom, integrity and capacity to love, will not have anything to give others.”  This book fits nicely in your purse or pocket.  I recommend having it handy.

    Keep this one in your purse
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2013*

I love TM and I purchased this one to keep in my purse.  Whenever I find myself with a few minutes of dead time, on hold on the phone or waiting on line somewhere, I pull this out and enjoy a page or two.  Seven Story Mountain and New Seeds of Contemplation are too big to be carrying around all the time, but this one is perfect!  If you've never read him before, this would  give you a taste of what he's like and then you can take it from there which one of his books you'd like to read next.  If you have read a lot of Merton, this might not be for you. For my purposes it is perfect, because I wanted something of his I could always carry with me.
