The Way of Julian of Norwich: A Prayer Journey Through Lent

Publisher Description

A fifteenth-century roof boss in Norwich Cathedral depicts a woman holding open the door to a small room, as Julian of Norwich invites us into her cell to share her Revelations of Divine Love. Sheila Upjohn shows us how to accept that invitation in this Lenten guide, as she explores Julian's book alongside passages from Scripture. She reveals how Julian's fresh perspectives on sin and judgement, anger and forgiveness, the Incarnation and the crucifixion - once thought so controversial that her book was kept hidden for centuries - can challenge and enlighten us, six hundred years later, in a world so badly in need of the assurance of God's unconditional love.
