Over six hundred years ago, Julian of Norwich lived through an age of extraordinary turmoil, including the devastation of the Black Death. Yet from that world of suffering came one of the most enduring expressions of Christian hope: 'All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.'
Based on a series of mystical visions received in 1373, Julian's Revelations of Divine Love is now regarded as one of the great works of Christian spirituality and one of the earliest surviving English-language books written by a woman.
In All Shall Be Well, the first post-humous release from the late Bishop Richard Harries guides readers through Julian's remarkable spiritual vision over the season of Lent. Exploring her insights into God's love alongside timeless questions of suffering, prayer, hope and what it means to trust God in uncertain times, Harries reveals why Julian continues to speak so powerfully more than six centuries later.
With questions and suggestions for reflection throughout, All Shall Be Well is a spiritually nourishing companion for Lent - and a book of Christian hope to return to whenever life feels uncertain.
