At the Abbey of Gethsemani, "the four walls of my new freedom," Thomas Merton struggles to withdraw from the world, but only after he has fully immersed himself in it.

In this remarkable book, readers will gain insight into:
· How spiritual fulfillment leads to the deepest form of self-discovery.
· The true redemption that comes from forgiving ourselves and past sins.
· The sacred power of vulnerability and relinquishing control.
· How to navigate our desires, discouragements, possibilities, and limitations.
· How our cumulative lived experiences broaden our cultural acceptance.
· What it truly means to be human in the world.
