Julian Norwich's account of revelations given to her by Christ during an illness "not unto death but almost." Tender writing which will help lead any true believer into a deeper knowledge of the love of Christ, and a more wonderful realization of the deep mercifulness with which He treats those of us who wait on His compassion and mercy. That she kept the revelations vivid in her memory for nearly 20 years, before committing them to paper make them all the more dear. My heartfelt prayer a couple of years ago to "love Christ as Mary loved Him," has in part been answered by the gift of this book. Sheila Upjohn has given us a real treasure.
