About
Over six hundred years ago Julian of Norwich wrote what is now regarded as one of the greatest works of literature in English. Based on a sequence of mystical visions she received in 1373, her book, Revelations of Divine Love, continues to enthral and inspire Christians the world over.
Julian lived through an age of turmoil, including the misery of the Black Death, and her writing engages with timeless questions about life, love and the meaning of suffering - all of which are explored by Richard Harries in this wonderfully engaging Lent book.
With questions and suggestions for reflection provided throughout, All Shall Be Well is a book full of spiritual nourishment that you will want to turn to time and time again - whether during Lent or any other season of the year.
