Since his death in 1987, countless readers have been challenged to encounter the God who lies behind words, concepts, and religious formulas. At the same time, de Mello's critique of the capacity of "religion" to interfere with our relationship with God has drawn criticism from various quarters, including the Vatican. In the penetrating introduction by fellow - Jesuit William Dych and in his selection of de Mello's essential writings, readers may assess for themselves the message of a true spiritual master for our times."--BOOK JACKET.
