My brother gave me this book as a present. Very informative and helps you relax more in your life. Anthony de Mello was a teacher, prophet and a healer.Chp. 4 my favourite under heading 'Happiness is Freedom'. A spiritual person who wishes to expand their thinking on spirituality would learn from this book.

Storyline

Fr. Anthony de Mello was an Indian priest whose many spiritual publications were informed by his extensive worldly studies. He organized prayer retreats, was a gifted public speaker, and established a prayer center in India. However, after his death in 1987, Fr. De Mello's books were deemed ""incompatible"" with the Catholic faith and were suppressed. The ban was lifted but his books were still sold with a disclaimer, distancing him from the Church. This book is a biography of Fr. De Mello and an exploration of his association with the Catholic Church. The author examines the Notification and its approach to Fr. de Mello's work, pointing out clearly the weaknesses and misunderstandings that underlie the conflict, and concludes with a look at the world-wide response, trying to put Anthony de Mello once again in context as a teacher, a prophet and a healer.
