This review is from: All Will Be Well: Based on the Classic Spirituality of Julian of Norwich (30 Days with a Great Spiritual Teacher) (Paperback)

This is the third book from the Ave Maria Press "30 days with a spiritual teacher" I've purchased. Each one has been extraordinary (Teresa of Avila and Catherine of Siena were the others). These books are well thought out with a brief introduction to the author sprinkled with significant aspects that help the reader feel a little closer to the "teacher". Also included is a "how to pray this book" section that gives some helpful points with the last one being the important "or do whatever feels right". The book is well named, for Julian's theology (that is focused on in this book) can be boiled down to "All Will Be Well". It is insightful and hopeful. Each day is broken down into a small bit to read and a thought to carry through the day. At the end of the day are questions to provoke thought and then a closing thought/prayer. These aren't meant to be inclusive works, what they are is a great introduction to an inspirational teacher.

This review is from: All Will Be Well: Based on the Classic Spirituality of Julian of Norwich (30 Days with a Great Spiritual Teacher) (Paperback)

I found this book to closely tie in with Dame Julian of Norwich's "Revelations of Divine Love". It has wonderful insights for each day, and helps one to understand "Revelations" from a different prespective. I started the 30 days during a family vacation at the beach and continued on until I had read the entire booklet. Afterwards, I had noticed that I had just about filled my journal with insights into God and how God relates to us. A wonderful meditaional guide for those of us on a journey.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth getting, June 8, 2006

This review is from: All Will Be Well: Based on the Classic Spirituality of Julian of Norwich (30 Days with a Great Spiritual Teacher) (Paperback)

Easy to read format. Julian is allowed to speak for herself without the editoralizing some other collections of her work contain. 4 stars instead of 5 only because, and this is nothing more than a personal preference, I prefer less of a translation from Julian's Middle English.

This is the second book by Julian I've purchased.
The Gift Of Julian Of Norwich by Karen Manton and Lynne Muir has stunning illustrations and is perhaps worth the price just for those but contains more comments by Karen Manton than verses by Julian. It also gives the Middle English with modern translation. I wish the illustrator, Lynne Muir, had collaborated with the editor of this volume. Sure the artwork would have doubled the price of this book but I would be glad to pay it.
