The second volume of Thomas Merton's 'gutsy, passionate journals' (Thomas Moore) chronicles Merton's advancement to priesthood and emergence as a best-selling author with the surprise success of his autobiography, 'The Seven Storey Mountain'. Spanning an eleven-year period, 'Entering the Silence' reflects Merton's struggle to balance his vocation to solitude with the budding literary career that would soon establish him as one of the most important spiritual writers of our century.
