The Sign of Jonas

The Sign of Jonas is a powerful and thought-provoking diary that chronicles Thomas Merton's six years at the Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani, where he lived in silence and prayer for much of his life.

This book takes readers through Merton's day-to-day experiences, revealing his growing acceptance of his vocation and the greater meaning he found within his private world of contemplation.

With excerpts from The New York Times and Catholic World, this book is made unmistakably real and almost unbearably poignant.

Don't miss out on this stirring and most readable book - the most illuminating of Merton's writings.
