Tony's brother, Bill had posted an e-bio of tony some years ago (see http://users.tpg.com.au/adsligol/tony/). Since then he has received myriads of messages urging him to write a comprehensive bio of tony. This he has done at last and it is a work of love.

The book is called 'Anthony deMello SJ, The Happy Wanderer - a Tribute to my Brother.'

Having been associated with the book I can tell you that there are lovely anecdotes, little-known episodes about Tony and a lot on the internal working of the Society of Jesus.

But what is best is the inside look at Tony and what made him tick.
The book will be released on the evening of the 21 st of April 2012 at St. Peter's Church Hall, Bandra. Tony died on 1st June 1987 at Fordham University, New York. This year makes it 25 years since that happened.

Tony may have left this mortal but he lives on through his books and video/audio recordings.

Incidentally, in case you did not know, there is an "anthony demello group" on face book which you can join if you wish.

All the best
Clifford

About the Book

"This book fulfils the need for a comprehensive biography of Tony, a man who has been described at various times as the Laughing Saint, the Happy Wanderer, a prophet and a rare mystic. Little-known facts of his early life and family background that reveal Tony's spiritual evolution have been painstakingly recorded by his brother as a work of love."
