In his books "Awareness" and "The Way to Love, "among others, " "the" "internationally acclaimed spiritual guide Anthony de Mello presented an approach to spirituality that integrated the ancient traditions of the East with the psychological and philosophical perspectives of the West. Twenty years after his death, de Mello's books continue to attract readers and his work remains a powerful influence on contemporary spiritual thought and practices. J. Francis Stroud, S.J., who helped de Mello with his hugely successful lectures, seminars, and books, has dedicated himself to keeping de Mello's teachings alive through the de Mello Spirituality Center at Fordham University. In "Praying Naked," Father Stroud draws on his peerless understanding of de Mello's works to help readers keep their lives on track and navigate their own spiritual journeys. In clear, simple language, he explains how to master de Mello's approach to meditation and shows that meditating for even as little as three minutes a day can resolve the problems caused by difficult life conditions and guide us on the quest for spiritual happiness, self-discovery, and self-awareness.
