God in All Things: The Spiritual Excercises of Anthony De Mello

by John Callanan

The contemplative wisdom of Anthony de Mello has reinvigorated the spirituality of people around the world, awakening hearts with its message of love and understanding. His unique blending of insights from the far East with Western traditions is a priceless innovation that has provided modern seekers with a new basis for contemplation and prayer. Despite the fullness of de Mello's teaching, his untimely death in 1987 left many looking for guidance further along the path that he had begun. John Callanan, who studied with Anthony de Mello for many years, now provides an accessible distillation of this transcendent wisdom that continues in the same direction and introduces these rich teachings to those unfamiliar with them.
God in All Things presents a simple yet profound approach to prayer for today - beginning with preparations for prayer, helpful surroundings, effective postures, breathing exercises, and then continuing with various meditations and visualizations. In each of these exercises, the participants reflect on different themes that help in the growth of their self-understanding, self-acceptance, and reconciliation and oneness with God. Useful explanatory examples come from various sources, including Eastern religions, the Gospels, and the author's personal experience.
