Anthony de Mello fue un sacerdote jesuita y psicoterapeuta reconocido por sus perspicaces libros sobre espiritualidad. Como guía espiritual, escritor y orador aclamado internacionalmente, sus charlas y escritos exploraron temas profundos de despertar interior y autodescubrimiento.

Algunas ediciones de sus libros incluyen una nota que aclara su intención de apoyar diversos caminos espirituales en lugar de servir como manuales del dogma católico.

Słynny hinduski mistyk komentuje wybrane fragmenty Ewangelii przez pryzmat duchowości Wschodu Wezwanie do miłości prezentuje ostatnie medytacje Anthony'ego de Mello, autora słynnego Przebudzenia. Są to zapiski człowieka, który miał odwagę zobaczyć rzeczywistość i dlatego był pełen współczucia i miłości dla wszelkich istot i rzeczy, mistyka, który rozkoszował się wszystkim i niczym. Ich tematem jest przede wszystkim miłość i to, co ją utrudnia: przywiązania, pragnienia, żądza, chciwość, system wierzeń lub przekonań - jednym słowem uwarunkowania oraz sposób, w jaki można się od nich wyzwolić po to, aby wiedzieć, aby kochać. Wezwanie do miłości tworzy wraz z Przebudzeniem integralną całość, która pozwala głębiej i adekwatniej zrozumieć przesłanie Anthony'ego de Mello.
Wielcy nauczyciele duchowi ludzkości, jak Budda i Jezus, wiedzieli, że chociaż serce ludzkie tęskni za prawdą, pierwszą reakcją na prawdę jest wrogość i strach. Stworzyli więc narzędzie, żeby przechytrzyć opór swoich słuchaczy: opowiadanie. Vyasa, autor Mahabharaty, powiada, że jeżeli posłuchasz uważnie jakiegoś opowiadania, nigdy już nie będziesz taki sam. Opowieść ta wkradnie się do twego serca i obali wzniesione w nim bariery. Modlitwa żaby jest pożegnalnym podarunkiem autora dla nas, przygotowanym do druku tuż przed opuszczeniem Indii. Opowiadania w niej zebrane pochodzą z różnych krajów, kultur i religii. Czerpią z duchowego dziedzictwa - i popularnego humoru - rasy ludzkiej. Skłaniają do zadawania pytań, do poszukiwań, do wyzbycia się utartych schematów myślenia i zachowania, ośmielają do bycia naprawdę sobą i szukania coraz większej autentyczności.
