I adore this book...it is packed full of divine revelations from Christ to Mother Julian concerning His love - and it is simply beautiful. As someone who v much loves Jesus it is pure pleasure to read and i would recommend it to anyone who has a heart for Him Unmissable
The First Woman Writer March 13, 2003

This is a fantastic book by the first British writer who can be identified as female. Although she led a secluded life, it gave her the time and space to ruminate over her 'visions' in relation to philosophy and theology. The images are beautifully crafted, the visions described intricately. Perhaps the most interesting element of this book is that Julian uses a site of patriarchal power to investigate femininity - Jesus is a mother, his love is the love of a mother.
a peculiarly modern medieval mystic! November 13, 2000
37 out of 38 found this review helpful
Julian Of Norwich was an anchoress living in Norwich in the late 14th century. Aged 30, she receieved her showings, or revelations of Divine Love. She then became enclosed, devoting to the rest of her life to writing down her visions, and understanding them. Julian can be easily placed within a series of female medieval mystics - women such as Hildegard of Bingen, Hadewich of Brabant, Clare of Assisi. Where she differs is in the simple uncluttered honesty of her approach; in her exploration of God as Mother, as well as of Father; and in her acceptance of our bodily nature, even joy in it.
