The Cistercian Fathers and Their Monastic Theology, Volume 42: Initiation Into the Monastic Tradition 8These conferences, presented by Thomas Merton to the novices at the Abbey of Gethsemani in 1963 1964, focus mainly on the life and writings of his great Cistercian predecessor, St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090 1153).

These conferences, presented by Thomas Merton to the novices at the Abbey of Gethsemani in 1963-1964, focus mainly on the life and writings of his great Cistercian predecessor, St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153). Guiding his students through Bernard's Marian sermons, his treatise On the Love of God, his controversy with Peter Abelard, and above all his great series of sermons on the Song of Songs, Merton reveals why Bernard was the major religious and cultural figure in Europe during the first half of the twelfth century and why he has remained one of the most influential spiritual theologians of Western Christianity from his own day until the present. As James Finley writes in his preface to this volume, "Merton is teaching us in these notes how to be grateful and amazed that the ancient wisdom that shimmers and shines in the eloquent and beautiful things that mystics say is now flowing in our sincere desire to learn from God how to find our way to God."

Great for supplemental learning
Format: Paperback
This study guide is an interesting take on drug memorization, though the execution could be better. The coloring concept helps with memory retention, especially for visual learners trying to connect drug names with their uses and classifications. The organization by drug class is logical and helps build understanding of how related medications work. The basic pharmacology information is accurate and the quick-reference format is handy for review. The "made easy" title fits - it breaks down complex medication information into manageable chunks. The coloring activities do help make dry content more engaging, though the quality of the illustrations varies. Some drawbacks: the coloring spaces are sometimes too small for comfortable use, and the paper quality could be better - markers tend to bleed through. Several important newer drugs are missing, and some of the clinical information feels oversimplified. The binding isn't very durable - pages can come loose with regular use. For students, this works best as a supplementary study tool rather than a primary resource. It's helpful for initial learning and quick review before exams, but you'll need more detailed sources for complete medication information. Consider using colored pencils instead of markers, and maybe reinforce the binding before heavy use.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Cool
Format: Paperback
The concept is amazing! I saw my classmate using this for boards (NPLEX)and I decided to get it. I only used it a few times though and never picked it up again because I suck at memorizing and prefer to just learn it the old school way. It’s cool if coloring is how you study. Maybe using it to wind down from an intense study session.
