The Prayer of the Frog

Anthony de Mello’s The Prayer of the Frog Vol.1& Vol.11 is an ocean of treasure concealed. The book presents treasures in the form of stories to steer and to have a long lasting effect on mind of the readers. It is a dictionary to look up, to matters on education, power, spirituality, relationship, human nature, service, enlightenment etc.  Values are imparted through the powerful grip of stories. The profound quest of an individual for knowledge and meaning in life is to be found in it. History and story blends to pierce and to reveal the truth. The camera of human mind can capture endless number of images and impressions. Yet we can’t remember them all. But the stories and historic events cited in The Prayer of the Frog help you remember whatever and whenever you want with associate memory in the light of the story narrated .It is worth reading to ignite one’s mind and enrich. The book can be a daily meditation. It has the following content in different sessions:-

  • Education
  • Authority
  • Spirituality
  • Human Nature
  • Relationship
  • Service

It is a great reservoir of values and spiritual wealth. The book can be compared to Francis Bacon’s Essays in terms of its aphorisms, terseness and apothegmatic styles. Here let me quote Bacon “Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few are to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.”
