This diary of a monastic life is “a continuation of The Seven Storey Mountain . . . Astonishing” (Commonweal).   Chronicling six years of Thomas Merton’s life in a Trappist monastery, The Sign of Jonas takes us through his day-to-day experiences at the Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani, where he lived in silence and prayer for much of his life.   Concluding with the account of Merton’s ordination as a priest, this diary documents his growing acceptance of his vocation—and the greater meaning he found within his private world of contemplation.   “This book is made unmistakably real and almost, at times, unbearably poignant by the fact that the exuberance of youth so often wells up through it with rapture, impatience, and even bluster.” —TheNew York Times   “A stirring book—the most readable and on the whole, most illuminating of the author’s writings.” —Catholic World

An interesting book that follows Merton's day to day thoughts and experiences during his first few years at Gethsemani. It's really different than Nouwen's diaries-turned-books (like the diary of his time at Genesee), in that Nouwen focused on just several themes that came up again and again in different contexts, while in this book it seems more like a journal whose entries didn't seem to have the goal of eventually being published. The reason I liked reading it was because I had just finished reading Merton's New Seeds of Contemplation, and in that book his thoughts ideas on monastic life and contemplation were so pure and fixed, while this book it shows his thoughts in flux, reflecting on his struggles, his joys, his frustrations and everything all of us experience in the world. It's actually only in the last entry that I sensed that he got the idea of turning all these entries into a book. Warning: Because it is a journal, it doesn't have the polish of many of his other books. But for me that was also its appeal.
