Thomas Merton is one of the most influential spiritual figures of the twentieth century. A Trappist monk, he was also a bestselling writer whose works are regarded as spiritual classics.

Originally published under the title The Climate of Monastic Prayer, Where Prayer Flourishes is his final work. It is full of accessible and practical teaching for anyone that wants to explore prayer to its full dimensions.

Merton argues that prayer flourishes best in the desert. Here, he shows how to find the desert in the midst of the busy world.

Where Prayer Flourishes will open a treasury of teaching about prayer to a wider audience.
