This book aims to capture the essence and spirit of Tony de Mello, who urged people to constantly question things, forcing them to reflect and thus ensure their growth. Tony said that our security does not lie in thoughts or ideas no matter how profound, nor in traditions, no matter how hallowed. Security can only lie in an attitude of mind and a readiness to reflect deeply, thus subjecting any and every belief to rigorous questioning. John Callahan starts this book with an opening chapter on the basics of prayer and then moves on to try and give a flavour of the ideas and themes which gave so much zest and life to Tony de Mello's presentations. The exercises in this book are based on the prayer-style which Tony himself developed during his retreats.
