This volume aims to bring the energy and work of Anthony de Mello to a wider audience. It illustrates some of the central themes of de Mello's life and vision - being fully alive as a follower of Christ and as a human being - and explains in some detail how de Mello ran his prayer workshops and fantasy exercises. It also contains prayer exercises, Gospel meditations and fantasy-style prayers, created by author John Callanan, based on the style made popular by De Mello. The book is a hands-on, practical exploration of types of prayer which the author has found to be effective and popular particularly with young people. John Callanan bases the content of this book on his own extensive work with youth groups and students, many of whom are finding real-life "fire and life-giving" substance very hard to find in today's world and Church. John Callanan is the author of "The Spirit of Tony de Mello".
