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.

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.
He said not 'Thou shalt not be tempested, thou shalt not be travailed, thou shalt not be dis-eased'; but he said, 'Thou shalt not be overcome.'
