Merton believed that for all of us our deepest desire is for loving communion with God and so with all of creation. Living Your Deepest Desires helps participants to discover for themselves just what this means.
The Bridges to Contemplative Living with Thomas Merton series invites users to personal spiritual transformation for the sake of a more just and peaceful world. Each eight-session booklet offers an introduction to Merton and contemplative living, prayers, readings from Merton and other spiritual writers, and questions for dialogue.
