The Seven Storey Mountain

Credited as being the first major Catholic book to achieve widespread popularity in America, this celebrated Christian classic details Thomas Merton’s spiritual evolution, which has captivated millions since its publication. Based on Merton’s personal journals, The Seven Storey Mountain is a profound Catholic conversion story that tells of the growing restlessness of a brilliant and passionate young man, who at the age of twenty-six, takes vows in one of the most demanding Catholic orders—the Trappist monks.
