{"product_id":"reading-thomas-merton-and-longing-gerard-straub-9798986088815","title":"Reading Thomas Merton and Longing for God in Haiti: Learning Wisdom in the School of My Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eLike Saint Francis of Assisi, although to a secondary extent, Merton has mentored Gerry Straub's spiritual exercises of remembering, of being awed by, and of obeying the commands of God's love, received throughout his community's days at the Santa Chiara Children's Center. His prose is undergirded with the poetry of his longing for God's presence in and for Haiti hour by hour. Gerry's prose and life resonate with Merton's texts. This book befriends Merton's own searching for God. Straub and Merton sing together, adding their voices to the chorus of God's beloved community in Haiti.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-From the Introduction by Jonathan Montaldo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMr. Montaldo co-edited \u003cem\u003eThe Intimate Merton: His Life from His Journals with Brother Patrick Hart of Gethsemani Abbey.\u003c\/em\u003e He edited the second volume of Merton's private journals, published in seven volumes, under the title \u003cem\u003eEntering the Silence\u003c\/em\u003e (1945-1959)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerard Straub\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798986088815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pax Et Bonum Communications Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.78d","brand":"Gerard Straub","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852771406079,"sku":"9798986088815","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reading-thomas-merton-and-longing-gerard-straub-9798986088815","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
