Make Peace Before The Sun Goes Down by Roger Lipsey
The Long Encounter of Thomas Merton and His Abbot, James Fox
A nuanced portrait of the decades-long relationship between Thomas Merton and his abbot, James Fox, chronicling their conflicts and evolving trust as they balanced monastic obedience with a writer-monk’s creative calling amid postwar changes in the Trappist order. Drawing on journals, letters, and archival records, it shows how discipline, candor, and grace gradually transformed contention into a mature partnership that reshaped life at Gethsemani and pointed both men toward a deep and durable peace.
