This book is a companion book to Brian Gallagher's earlier work God's Foolishness. The author reflects on the lives and teachings of a number of other 'prophets' who have encouraged and inspired him in his own life and ministry. They include earlier classics, for example Julian of Norwich and Francis de Sales, and contemporary authors, Denis Edwards, Karl Rahner
and Thomas Keating. In common to all is their experience of God's love in their lives, in joyful times and in painful times. Many themes from the teaching of St John of the Cross permeate Brian's writing.
