Thomas Merton, Prophet and Spiritual Mentor

<b>Douglas Beardsley</b>, poet and hockey author, shared his personal
experience with Thomas Merton. "Ascent to Truth" by Merton has been a
pivotal book on his journey. There are moments of great beauty in this
book. <br> "I feel that Bread in the Wilderness is one of his finest
works," he says. Most of his lecture was on books often unread of
Merton.
