While, on the surface, The Constant Choice appears to be a biographical journey through Peter Georgescu's life, he has made it more a search for truth. Georgescu's search began with the problem of evil and his desire to understand it. He describes his early struggles to understand the world in the light of God's loving providence. In his native Romania, he learned of God's love and care for all people. But when Romania was placed under communist control, he learned first-hand about evil and injustice, as it is perpetrated against the helpless.

His search to understand the source of evil led him to experiment with Silva mind control. Those techniques brought him some enlightenment and the skills to search for answers more deeply. He visited psychics and had visited a Gypsy fortune-teller as a child. Regarding his willingness to believe psychic pronouncements, he said, "Maybe I'm an odd duck in this regard. I can certainly suspend disbelief, but I also compulsively reach after 'fact and reason'". (63%, Loc 2727 Kindle edition)

He visited the sites of many concentration camps and political prisons to try to understand and find answers to the question of evil. He turned his research to churches and religious leaders to study the motivation for good and the willingness to endure evil for a greater good.

Overall this book challenges the reader to search for truth and God; to consider the difficulty of explaining a loving God to someone who has experienced the evil of those who revel in cruelty and injustice where there is no evidence of a loving God. It also encourages the reader to think deeply about life and relationships; to search for a personal understanding of truth; and to examine deeply held beliefs. The Constant Choice is a worthwhile read.
