Note: Ave Maria Press has made the difficult decision to discontinue the Bridges to Contemplative Living series. The remaining books still in print in the series can be read in any order.

To live contemplatively is to embrace the realization that whatever we do and whomever we are, constitute a testimony of love that we are writing for loved ones and neighbors to read. Writing Yourself Into the Book of Life helps participants reflect together on their own book of life that they write in every day.

The Bridges to Contemplative Living with Thomas Merton series invites users to personal spiritual transformation for the sake of a more just and peaceful world. Each eight-session booklet offers an introduction to Merton and contemplative living, prayers, readings from Merton and other spiritual writers, and questions for dialogue.
