Spend a month in the company of Julian of Norwich, with sixty-two reflections to enrich your mornings and evenings. 'According to her vision of God, he . . . has always been imparting unconditional love.' - Janina Ramirez, from Julian of Norwich: A very brief history Praise for the A Month with series: 'This series helps us to be properly nurtured by the living, radical Christian tradition of faith.' - Mark Oakley, author and Chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral, London Julian of Norwich was a fourteenth-century mystic whose writings vividly convey the love of God and his presence in suffering.
A nice little daily devotional focused on the radical love of God and our relationship to Jesus Christ through that radical love as expressed in Christ’s atoning sacrifice for us. Julian was able to break free of a lot of the negative religiosity that was common in her time (the 14th century) by meditating on God’s love and how we can receive it and likewise share it.
I really enjoyed exploring some of the writings of Julian of Norwoch over the last month. This book provides bitesized chunks of text for both evening and morning over 31 days.
I love Julian's words themselves but the excerpts are given without context and are too highly edited in my opinion, giving only a glimpse of the beauty of the texts they were taken from. Not the book I was hoping for.
