"People are fascinated with the life, writings and teachings of Thomas Merton. In his book The Spiritual Genius of Thomas Merton author Anthony Padovano presents a new look at the life and teachings of Merton to help the reader understand more about Merton, his ideas about God and how people have been affected by these ideas.  Merton was seen as a man of contradictions as he was assertive but elusive and a wanderer at heart but committed to monastic life. Through analyzing his major journal and his poetic writings, the author reconciles Merton&amp;amp;#39;s inner nature with the life he chose. Merton&amp;amp;#39;s life was a constant search and, as such, his life and writings offer readers meaningful guidance on their own spiritual journey. The Spiritual Genius of Thomas Merton comes out at the perfect time to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Merton. It is a paperback book with 224 pages."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
