Revelations of Divine Love, the first book published in English attributed to a woman, is also included.\n\nJulian 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. In her visions, God was not angry and wrathful. Instead, the three properties of God were presented as life, love, and light, and all of His creation was good, including his servant, man. In Julian's version, man is not to blame for his sin; sin is something that he must experience and overcome in his spiritual journey with God.\n\nHer message for today's readers is simply this:\nShe reveals the feminine face of the Divine and reminds us to see God there.\nAll our failings are an opportunity to learn and grow; they should be honored, but not dwelled upon.\nGod's love has nothing to do with love and retribution and everything to do with love and compassion.\nIn spite of all appearances, all is well.\nThis book contains some of the most profound spiritual writing ever written and remains a perennial favorite among Christians.","brand":"Bokhandeln Arken","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55894714417525,"sku":"9781642970364","price":279.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/8694\/6073\/files\/9781642970364.jpg?v=1761827448","url":"https:\/\/www.arken.se\/products\/the-showings-uncovering-the-face-of-the-feminine-in-revelations-of-divine-love","provider":"Bokhandeln Arken","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
