The Gift Of Julian Of Norwich

by Karen Mmanton, Lynne Muir (Illustrator)

In a time of political violence and religious censorship, Julian of Norwich dared to speak about love and her understanding of God through her remarkable book of 'Showings' or revelations. This series of sixteen visions came to her during a severe illness when she was thirty. Her message is that God who is all love, all goodness, and the source of all existence, will make all things well. Yet Julian also asks: 'How shall all be well?' in the face of suffering and pain. Superb illustration and calligraphy combine with translations and insights to provide a fascinating account of Julian's world.

I been intrigued to read this but was disappointed. Seemed like a lot of un-scriptural ramblings.
