Very worthwhile

Carlos Valles was a contemporary of Anthony De Mello and attended his sadhana retreats. This book is a record of one of De Mello's last given retreats. Valles describes the main themes of the retreat and much more. Great insight is given into the genius of De Mello, as well as very interesting biographical information. I have read this book about four times. De Mello is one of the great spiritual lecturers and writers. It is a big pity that his life ended while he was in his early 50s, it would have been interesting to see where his thought went and how he would have faced the Vatican and it's questioning of his ideas. Fearlessly, no doubt. Valles, though he lacks the charisma and bite of De Mello, he is a highly accomplished author and spiritual master himself. A book definately worth reading.
