Seeing the Mountain is a contemplative work exploring how the disciplined clarity of Zen practice can illuminate and deepen a committed Catholic life. Rather than treating Zen and Catholicism as competing worldviews, it shows how attentiveness, interior stillness, and direct experiential insight can strengthen one’s capacity to live the Christian faith with sincerity and presence.

Tom Daniels and "Cookie" Marsh will be the first to tell you that race isn't everything. But it did shape the way they experienced the world growing up in Detroit in the 1950s and '60s. Tom “Cookie” Marsh grew up in a black neighborhood on Detroit’s west side. Tom Daniels grew up in a mixed working-class neighborhood on Detroit's east side. Both men grew up in strict households, and both saw their city, their country, and their world transform around them through the Civil Rights movement, riots, and the Vietnam War.
