How did you like The Seven-Storey Mountain?
I enjoyed it. It was nice to read it after Mein Kampf! What a contrast and breath of fresh air to read the life story of someone seeking hard after God after Hitler! He was obviously brilliant and could have made a name for himself in the secular world. Love his chosen life path. I would recommend it!
I should also say that I went from reading about a great Hindu (Ghandi) to a great Catholic (Merton) to a transformed Muslims (Malcolm X did start out great, but I believe the transformation he made in the last year of his life would have had a tremendous influence on race relations if he hadn't been murdered!). All three are excellent books!
Thank you, Carol! :)
