"The first book ever written in English by a woman-and an essential guide to living a Christian life. Her work-in the same Middle English as her contemporary Geoffrey Chaucer-is dense, deeply intuitive, and theologically complex. In the last thirty years, there have been several translations of her book, but they've tended to be coolly academic, merely paraphrased, or too literal to capture Julian's true meanings. This translation final ..."
"De Sales' classic has been described as "a masterpiece of psychology, practical morality, and common sense" and, after The Bible and" The Imitation of "Christ, is the widest read spiritual book of all time. Unlike many others, "Devout Life" was written specifically for lay persons and it demonstrates a rare sensitivity to the demands of life in a world that is often antagonistic to spirituality. In this first-of-its-kind edition, Fr. Jo ..."

"The most engaging and complete collection available of this 14th century English mystic The Revelations of Julian of Norwich is the first book written in English by a woman – in this case, by a 14th century recluse who recounts the poignant, subtle, and radical insights granted to her in sixteen visions of the crucified Christ as she lay on what was believed to be her deathbed. Julian’s miraculous recovery from that illness then led to ..."
"Published in over 6,000 editions before the year 1900, "The Imitation of Christ" has been more widely read than any other book in human history except the Bible itself. It has been called "the most influential work in Christian literature," "a landmark in the history of the human mind," and "the fifth gospel."Now, and for the first time, comes an exhaustive edition of this classic work, a work that is bound to become a classic in its ow ..."
"Fr. John Julian. Mother of life and of all.9 To the quality of motherhood belongs natural love, wisdom,and knowledge—and this is God; for though it is true that our bodilybirthis butlittle, lowly, and simple as compared toour spiritual birth, yet ..."
"From rough folk-verse to high-flown poesy, from a nine-line rhyme to a six-hundred-line epic, both the style and genre of the poetry in this volume cover a broad range of poetic possibility. This is the first volume of John Julian s poetry ever published, revealing an important new American poetic voice.""
"In Part V, he helps the reader to form resolutions and remain steadfast in the
peace of the devout life. From the moment of its first publication, An Introduction
to the Devout Life has been one of the five or six foundational texts for serious
Christian spiritual development, joining such works as Kempis's Imitation of
Christ and the writings of Ignatius Loyola, Bonaventure, Teresa of Ávila, and John
of the Cross—with the advantag ..."
"We flee from silence; we flee from solitude; we flee from purity; and we flee from
sacrifice—all of which are definitive and mystical means of union with God. God
is not like us—except that divine mind is like ours (or, more correctly, we have a
mind that is derived from and an image of God's). So even the unconscious ways
in which we ascribe human characteristics to God are impediments to our growth.
It were well we kept in mind: ..."

"For thirty years, Fr. John-Julian has practiced contemplative prayer daily as a monk of the Order of Julian of Norwich. The book is a record of letters of advice written to a young seminarian who was interested in investigating the practical dimensions of the contemplative way for himself, full of questions: What is all this contemplative prayer people are talking about these days? I never heard anything about that back in my parish. Is ..."
