“I laughed, I smiled, and I shed a tear or two of joy as I read this whimsical, yet inspiring story.”
—Carl McColman, author, The Big Book of Christian Mysticism

Imagine a gathering of six medieval mystics enjoying a meal and lively conversation on a rainy evening in a cozy modern home. In this setting, with their charming host, the strange and sometimes alienating aspects of their medieval milieu fade away, while their commonalities and distinctive personalities shine through.

For those who have read and loved these figures, and those just coming to know the mystical tradition, here is a feast for heart and soul.

“Both old friends of the mystics and those new to the mystical tradition will be captivated by this delightfully creative and profoundly insightful book.”
—Michelle Jones, editor, Ruth Burrows: Essential Writings

“The six medieval mystics who engage in conversation at this imaginary dinner impart timeless wisdom and much-needed hope to our discordant world. Enjoy the feast!”
—Veronica Mary Rolf, author, Julian’s Gospel: Illuminating the Life & Revelations of Julian of Norwich

Carmel Bendon, a writer and presenter on “all things medieval,” holds a PhD in Medieval Literature and lectures in English Literature, Medieval Studies, and Spirituality. She is the author of Mysticism and Space, and a novel, Grasping at Water. She lives in Sydney, Australia.
