In the Sixties, Merton invited a group of contemplative women - cut off by inflexible rules from any analysis of important movements in the Church and the world - to make a retreat with him at his abbey in Kentucky. What he and they said on such themes as Zen, a Way of Living Life Directly, Prophetic Choices, and The Feminine Mystique, is the text of this book. | The Springs of Contemplation by Thomas Merton, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
