Excellent article, especially the depiction of her visionary "Shewings." The "Revelations of Divine Love" can be a tough slog, however. An alternative is "Meditations with Julian of Norwich" by Brendan Doyle as a daily contemplation companion reader. I captures the essence of the "Book of Showings" without the accompanying text.
I'm glad you enjoyed this one, Steve. I agree, Revelations can be slow-going. I've read it twice, and each time I just do bits and pieces at a time. Which means it takes a long time to go through. Thank you for that recommendation. I will take a look at it. I've found that, often, it's helpful to have an "interpreter" for these mystics. Sounds like the Doyle book might be a good one for introducing folks to Julian.
