Lull lived back in the 13th century, not long after the days of St. Francis of Assisi, whose disciple he was. His mystic writings are full of the purest & noblest spirituality, compounded with the quintessence of love. Lull was no cloistered visionary. His life was full of romance & adventure, so crowded with incident is it that many pages will not suffice to even summarize its principal happenings.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A strange and enigmatic book...,
By
This review is from: Book of the Lover and the Beloved (Paperback)
A friend gave me this book a couple of years ago and I find that I return to it again and again. It is a series of 365 short meditations on being in relationship with God. The meditations can be, at times, astoundingly difficult to understand. But every now and then one pops out that is so perfect I am convinced that this crazy Spanish mystic must have been on to something.
If you are trying to deepen your relationship with the Divine, do yourself a favor: Get this book.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Challenging but rewarding,
By
This review is from: Book of the Lover and the Beloved (Paperback)
If sometimes the meaning is inaccessible the emotion and spirit is not. Here there is a strong mission-minded and mystical insight into the reflections of one of the great minds of medieval Christianity. Llull, who is known as a missionary, poet, novelist, mystic, philosopher, father and husband, and even perhaps an alchemist, strongly connects tribulation-suffering with the greater experience of God's love. A challenging message.
