In thisvolume, readers will be inspired byJulian, a celebrated English mysticfrom the fourteenth century anda recluse at St. Julian's Church inNorwich, whose writings were the firstworks in English known to be writtenby a woman.

Drawing from her published writings, editor Lisa Dahill here selects fortyinspiring passages from Julian'swork that help illustrate God's loveand compassion for all.
