Bob Prophette is a Priest, Bookie and Judge. A Welsh-Irish-Canadian, born in 1967 in Toronto to Irish parents, he lived in Ireland, England and Wales as a child. He is a dad, analyst, researcher, artist, piss taker, strummer, writer, singer, dancer, deep diver, fool, shaman and prophette.

As an author Bob’s work is mainly appropriation. Bob embarked upon an ambitious task of saving the Bible’s many fascinating stories from obscurity, by retelling them in the format of beloved children’s stories. This began at the end with the Bible’s last book: The Book of Revelation. This was given the Dr Seuss treatment.

This was followed by the oldest book in the Bible, the Book of Job. This was retold using the cast of characters from the Winnie the Pooh stories.

Bob recently completed a retelling of the Gospels using the style and characters from Saint Exupery’s the Little Prince. He is currently working on bringing life back into the Book of Genesis using Kipling’s Just So Stories.

Bob is not a religious man, he’s not even spiritual. He just likes stories and the Bible’s got a lot of them. It seems a shame that so few know of them anymore.

Bob previously rewrote/edited the Bible three times. First creating the Random Bible (700,000 beautiful but randomly chosen words); then the Good Book, where all the crap was removed; then the Female Bible – just the bits about women.

Other works by Bob include guides to Metaphysical Betting, a Contradictionary and a play about why Michelangelo’s Moses has horns.
