The Best of de Mellos Story Collections,
By
This review is from: Taking Flight (Paperback)
Of all the collections of meditation and wisdom stories that de Mello has put together I think that this one is the best (followed closely by Song of the Bird, which is equal in quality but has fewer stories). This book contains over 250 stories arranged by topic: Prayer, Awareness, Religion, Grace, The Saints, The Self, Love and Truth. These are real stories not just the didactic aphorisms and sayings (beginning with "The Master said") that are more typical of de Mello's One Minute Wisdom, One Minute Nonsense and More One Minute Nonsense. And the stories are more to some spiritual point, in my judgment, while the companion book, The Heart of the Enlightened, tends to have many that are merely humorous. So while he has a lot of good sayings and stories, were you to pick just one of those books, for my tastes it would be this one.

Inspirational,
By A Customer
This review is from: Taking Flight (Paperback)
This book is a collection of stories from different religious traditions, grouped according to theme. The author has a delightful sense of humor, and it shows through his selection of parables. If you read this book in small pieces, as the author suggests, you will learn to have a sense of humor and wonder about your own life. Although the stories make for good jokes, if you think about them seriously, you will find that the wisdom becomes apparent years later. Don't be too quick to dismiss some of them as hokey or you'll find yourself playing the fool in vey similar situations!

Thought-provoking,
By
This review is from: Taking Flight (Paperback)
Thought-provoking snippets of life - a good book to take to appointments where one might have to wait, or when sitting with an ailing relative.
