This week, Phil and Rebekah discuss Thomas Merton's spiritual classic, "The Seven Storey Mountain."  Distilling a 460 page book into a 30 minute podcast takes some doing, so don't expect a thorough discussion of the book as a whole. Instead, we will talk about the ways in which some of Merton's ideas about the Christian life are relevant (or not) to us.  How do we live comfortable yet faithful lives?  What is the purpose of our lives?  What does it mean to contemplate Scripture?  We talk about this and more.  Join us!
