Now You Know Media—through its exclusive partnership with the Merton Legacy Trust and the Thomas Merton Center—is proud to offer a wide selection of archival recordings of Thomas Merton: a Trappist monk, great twentieth-century mystic, and beloved author of the 1948 autobiography,The Seven Storey Mountain.
