This work explores the link between God-experience and prophecy in the different religious traditions, namely Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism as well as Christianity. The models, especially Jesus who has called us to be his disciples, inspire us to deepen
our own experience of God in Jesus so that our prophetic life and action may become more authentic and transform, not only our own lives, but also the lives of all the people of whatever religion who are struck and challenged by our living witness.The
book will serve as an inspiration for those who delve deeper for God experience in their life in order to live their mission more prophetically and radically.
