About this listen

The Seven Storey Mountain is the extraordinary spiritual testament of Thomas Merton (1915-1968), a man who experienced life to its fullest in the world before entering a Trappist monastery. By the end of his life, he had become one of the 20th century's best-known and beloved Christian voices. This autobiography deals...not with what happens to a man, but what happens inside his soul.

Stunned by the profound beauty of this book both for its literary content and deep spiritual wisdom. Thomas Merton a true profit of our time, so beautifully and sensitivity read by Sidney Lanier.

Very disappointed with this Audible version of a great classic by Thomas Merton. I have read the hard copy but thought it would be good to have the Audible version to listen to whilst driving. It skips so much of the story and is only a shadow of the original version. I really hope that Audible will release the full version of this book.

My first listen to this classic work and I was captivated by Thomas Mertons personal story. Highly recommended for those setting out on exploring Mertons life and work.

A Captivating classic still contemporary for today.

A spiritual journey, albeit different from my own, very relateable too. A book so important for these times. Very well read, & easy to listen to.

Resonance with my soul's journey
