Love Was His Meaning
She Was Nearly Lost to History, and She Has Never Been More Needed Her manuscripts were copied in secret. They were smuggled across the sea, hidden in cellars, preserved by trembling hands in an age when the wrong words could mean death. For centuries, Julian of Norwich was almost no one, a name scratched in an anchorite's register, a voice sealed behind a stone wall. Then the world found her again. And she will not let us go.
Read the full description
Love Was His Meaning tells the full, astonishing story of how this fourteenth-century mystic and anchoress, who received sixteen showings of divine love during a near-fatal illness and spent the next twenty years meditating on what they meant, became one of the most beloved spiritual voices in Christian history. It traces her journey from the silence of her cell in Norwich to the hearts of contemplatives, seekers, and the simply desperate on every continent. And at the center of it all stands her great, unshakeable declaration: Love was his meaning. Who shewed it thee? Love. What shewed he thee? Love. Wherefore was it shewed? For Love.
