This book is absolutely beautiful. Julian's visions are truly pictures of God's love for us, and how He keeps us safe, even when we aren't aware of His presence. Julian's writing is very repetitive, but I imagine that's partially due to the nature of the illness she experienced while receiving these visions. She really emphasizes how Jesus would have suffered even more for us to show His love, and how He is like our Mother and Brother.

#MountTBRChallenge Number 80. This edition has both the shorter and longer text. I have included The Upper Room in this photo because two weeks ago they were using her writings as inspiration for the daily devotional emails. Her is the link to my gr review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3568070927?book_show_action=false&from_rev...

It drags on a lot, but otherwise Julian of Norwich has some beautiful insight.

quirkyreader Are you reading the edited version or the recent edition put out by Penguin? 5y

““I quite sincerely wanted to be ill to the point of dying, so that I might receive the last rites of Holy Church, in the belief—shared by my friends—that I was in fact dying. There was no earthly comfort I wanted to live for... [cont. in comment] #death #dying #medieval

Megara “In this illness I wanted to undergo all those spiritual and physical sufferings I should have were I really dying, and, to know, moreover, the terror and assaults of the demons—everything, except death itself! My intention was that I should be wholly cleansed thereby through the mercy of God, and that thereafter, because of that illness, I might live more worthily of him. Perhaps too I might even die a better death, for I was longing to be with.. 5y

Hi all! I've been caught up in #NaNoWriMo this month so haven't been reading much. Thought I'd get back on the horse with a #NonFiction choice from one of my favourite historians- Janina Ramirez. This book is about the first known woman to write in the English language: Julian of Norwich.

annahenke Interested to hear what you think! 7y

KellyTurner @annahenke I watched the TV show on it recently so really looking forward to reading this. Will let you know! 😀 7y
