Description

Philip Yancey and host Karen Wright Marsh tell the story of Thomas Merton, a most unusual monastic: best-selling author, peacemaker, and contemplative spiritual teacher.

The Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, couldn’t stop talking about his “brother” Tom Merton—about his luminous inner life, his true humility, his deep faith—declaring that it was Tom who first introduced him to the real meaning of the word Christian. Who was this Real Christian? And what can he teach us today?
