Why at times do I feel so empty? If I am a Christian, a child of my heavenly Father, why does a barrier of life's pressures, cares, and troubles so often keep me from entering His presence? Is there a spiritual key that will unlock the doors of my soul to His majestic Spirit so that I am crowned with all the blessings that are mine in Christ?

Julian of Norwich (1342-1413) lived when poverty, plagues, war and despotic kings ravaged Europe. A terrifying illness brought her to her deathbed. Then a powerful vision opened up to Julian. She saw the tender, burning, unstoppable love of God, reaching out to touch her. To love and heal the soul of the whole world. And in an instant, waves of health revived her physical body. Love made her well.

Julian's ongoing vision of divine love, recorded over several decades, reigns supreme in all of English devotional writing. Her words will open your heart wide to be touched and crowned with new spiritual life, and with love greater than you have ever known.

Julian of Norwich-a woman who knows the Lord

Customer Rating:

In a very searching time of my life, this book was given to me by a dear friend (who will receive her crown one day). It truly kindled a fire within me to "press toward the goal of the high call of God". As a nun who lived during the 14th century, Julian of Norwich was not affluent, influential or even in a large community. She was a nun in a small convent. God chose to heal her as she was dying, and then use her to speak to us today in a way that will create a fire within you to know Him. The obvious changes were made to put the book in a readable, updated language form, breaking down it into daily devotionals. Yet you continue to feel the heart of Julian. Yes, Julian of Norwich was truly a woman with a deep love for and intimate relationship with the Lord. May we all find such a place.
