The Golden String

More about the book

The autobiography chronicles the transformative journey of Dom Bede Griffiths, a British priest and Benedictine monk, from his humble beginnings in 1906 to his spiritual awakening. After excelling at school and attending Oxford, he engaged in a communal lifestyle that deepened his interest in Catholicism. A spiritual crisis prompted him to explore the works of John Henry Newman, ultimately leading to his conversion. Written just before joining the Benedictine Order, it offers a profound exploration of faith, struggle, and personal growth.
