In 1373, gravely ill and expecting to die, a young woman of Norwich received sixteen "shewings" of the love of God - and lived to spend the rest of her days walled into a cell beside a church, pondering what she had seen. She became the first woman to write a book in the English language, and out of that hidden place came the most hopeful sentence in English devotion: all shall be well.
All Shall Be Well keeps Julian's sixteen Revelations as a sixteen-day retreat. Each day sets her own medieval words beside a short reflection for today, a line to carry, a question to sit with, and a prayer. Full-color plates carry the reader through the Passion and the love that Julian saw at its heart.
