Revelations of Divine Love (Hodder Classics)

And all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well. In 1373, when she was 30 years old, Julian of Norwich received a series of 16 visions. Pondering in prayer their meaning for 20 years, she gradually came to realize their full significance. Written from the heart and borne from experience, Revelations of Divine Love is inspiring reading for all who seek to live their lives in close union with God. Her reflections are steeped in the Bible, contain many profound insights into contemplative prayer, and are as relevant today as when they were originally written. A spiritual guide for today, Julian additionally holds the distinction of being the first woman to write a book in the English language.
