Takes us into the Abbey of Gethsemani -- the Trappist monastery in Kentucky that was home to the author Thomas Merton -- to explore the details of spiritual and daily life. A guide to locating a monastery near you, as well as a glossary of common monastic terms, make this an excellent introduction for the curious seeker -- and the perfect book to take along on your first monastic retreat.
