The present volume gathers together Adrienne von Speyr’s meditations on a series of biblical prophets stretching from Abraham to the Mother of the Lord. As Hans Urs von Balthasar writes in his foreword, Adrienne’s focus in the book “is on the prophets themselves. It is their interior decisions, their prayer, their task, their way of filling out the place God has assigned them, rather than on the outward succession of events they played such a decisive role in.”
