Reviews
" Julian of Norwich deserves as wide a readership as possible today for her wise, deep, and spirited telling of the Christ story along with the Motherhood of God. Her teachings are sorely needed to balance out the pessimism and patriarchal overload we find in today's culture and religion. Mirabai's translation is fresh and readable, helping to render Julian very alive and edgy still after all these years. We should all be thankful for this gift from Julian and Mirabai." -- Matthew Fox , author of Original Blessing, A Spirituality Named Compassion, Hildegard of Bingen, a Saint for Our Times: Unleashing Her Power in the 21st Century, "As a major fan and promoter of Julian of Norwich, whom I call 'my favorite mystic', it is genuinely exciting to find such a faithful but freeing translation of Julian's long lost Showings. Now they are no longer lost--for anyone!" -- Fr. Richard Rohr, O.F.M. , Center for Action and Contemplation, " Julian of Norwich's Showings shines with luminous mystical wisdom--and Mirabai Starr's lovely and engaging translation of this medieval masterpiece makes it more accessible than ever." --Carl McColman, author of The Big Book of Christian Mysticism and Answering the Contemplative Call, "Mirabai Starr offers Julian to a new audience--the 21st-century spiritual seeker--while respecting her medieval Christian context. It has long been my wish that all people may come to know this universal wisdom. Starr gives me hope that spiritual truths can break through religious borders." -- Prof. Frederick Roden, PhD , University of Connecticut, author of Love's Trinity: A Companion to Julian of Norwich, "I spent the day with Mirabai and Julian of Norwich. Mirabai's translation--and most importantly, transmission--of Julian of Norwich is sublime. This inspired work reveals the immediate and undeniable Presence that knows itself as divine source and all that is born of Itself. I savored its humility and exaltation. I received its true welcome into the universal, sweet bosom of love. I recommend it with all my heart." - Gangaji, "In the Middle English original, Julian's expression was colloquial, vivid, and direct, shot through with lyricism and joy; Mirabai Starr has provided contemporary readers with a modern English rendering that is all of that. What a splendid gift!" -- Carol Lee Flinders , author of Enduring Lives: Portraits of Women and Faith in Action

Synopsis
A fresh and contemporary translation of one of the best loved and influential mystical texts of all time, The Showings of Julian of Norwich brings the message and spirituality of this 14th century mystic to 21st century readers. Julian of Norwich, a contemporary of Geoffrey Chaucer, was an English anchoress in East Anglia. At the age of 30, suffering from a severe illness and believing she was on her deathbed, Julian had a series of intense visions of Jesus, which she recorded and then expanded on later in her life. Her message for today's readers is simply this: She reveals the feminine face of the Divine and reminds us to see God there. All our failings are an opportunity to learn and grow; that they should be honored, but not dwelled upon. God's love has nothing to do with love and retribution and everything to do with love and compassion. In spite of all appearances, all is well.
