The wondrous and devout, the "different" and "scandalous" life of Saint Andrew the Fool for Christ, who, called by God to the superhuman contest of feigned madness and possessed by divine intoxication, reached the pinnacle of sainthood through the complete annihilation of the "self," nakedness and homelessness, disregard and dishonor, mockery and contempt. The reader, with awe and admiration, follows page by page the course of the harsh life of the "mad" saint. A book that is truly moving!
