Buch der geistlichen Übungen. Die Übungen in Form von geistlichen Texten führen wie eine Treppe von Gedanken über Gefühle, Fantasie und Sinne bis hin zu einem Zustand der Stille, einer Art Kontemplation mit sich selbst und mit Gott. Das Buch ist im Geiste der christlichen Spiritualität verfasst, ebenso wie die vorherigen Werke des Autors.

La lettura di queste pagine offre l'incontro con i concetti più alti della spiritualità attraverso storielle ed aneddoti, a volte autentiche barzellette. Il volume è quindi un libro di spiritualità ma pensato e scritto in modo da essere per tutti, persone colte e meno colte, giovani ed adulti, credenti e non

"The Way To Love" contains the final flowering of Anthony de Mello's thought, and in it he grapples with the ultimate question of love. In thirty-one meditations, he implores his readers with his usual pithiness to break through illusion, the great obstacle to love. "Love springs from awareness, " de Mello insists, saying that it is only when we see others as they are that we can begin to really love. But not only must we seek to see others with clarity, we must examine ourselves without misconception. The task, however, is not easy. "The most painful act, " de Mello says, "is the act of seeing. But in that act of seeing that love is born." Anthony De Mello was the director of the Sadhana Institute of Pastoral Counseling in Poona, India, and authored several books. "The Way To Love" is his last.

The Song of the Bird is a manifestation of the hunger for the spiritual spreading around the world. It is a hunger with very special characteristics. People aren't buying set formulas any more, pius platitudes redolent of an area gone by; beaten tracks that did not succeed in brining people to a spiritual awakening. There is an anguished search, sometimes confused in its direction, for a more liberal outlook. Modern man mired in pre-found cultural change first wants to know who he is, what imprisons his soul, what stands in the way of spiritual progress. He wants to rediscover the od beyond all that has been identified through the years with the name of God: laws, norms, doctrines not made flesh, words estranged from life.

De Mellovy exerciční promluvy, které sám pečlivě připravil, ale nestihl publikovat. Velmi působivě zde osvětluje tři základní témata: modlitbu, pokání a Kristovu lásku.
