k8iedid's review against another edition
4.0
I read this throughout 2018 -- it's an absolutely interesting look at the monastic life, and great way to understand Merton. However, the entries jump all over year to year, so there's no consistency. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but can be jarring to jump from one concern to something completely different if you're looking for reconciliation of thoughts. I really enjoyed doing this project through the year.

One of my daily reading books this year (accompanied, once again, by daily Rilke, which made for a lovely pairing), and I've got to say, it did not disappoint - a perfect reflective moment to begin each day.

A wonderful companion to take with you through the year! Merton is best read in small snippets like these daily reflections. By doing so, one grows in appreciation of the possibilities each day offers...and helps notice things that wouldn't be noticed otherwise.
