Very nice
My son really likes this saint. I bought him the book use with his high school students for daily prayer and reflections. He really liked the book and is using it with his students well. It was a great way to incorporate prayer in an easy to use format.

What a wonderful introduction to the insights of St
What a wonderful introduction to the insights of St. Julian's divine love! The readings are in modern English so there is not the distraction of trying to figure out what she is saying instead of understanding what she means. Using the "All Through the Day" thought serves as a way to incorporate that day's insight into the mind and heart. The questions for reflection take Julian's message and bring it into the practical experience of your everyday life. This devotional book is not about some medieval religious ideas. It is an aid to understanding what it truly means to live in a relationship with God as your "Beloved."

Healing in hard times!
This is such a wonderful, loving, spiritual, and a easy read book. Every morning you read a short page to help you focus on Christ. You get a thought to think about for the day and at the end of the day page. Short pages of Julian's visions and prayers. This is such a great book. Its for 30 days and every time I'm going through something really hard in my life I read it again. This book keeps my centered on the real reason why were here (LOVE) to Christ (LOVE) to others and (LOVE) to self. Very Healing!

Daily meditations
The wisdom of Julian of Norwich condensed into this small book is an inspiring way to begin and end each day. The morning prayer, the daily mantra and the evening prayer helps to enter the busyness of each day in a centered, grounded way. The evening reading allows the day to melt away for a night of sleep. I like this book and plan to try some of the others in this series.

A lovely way to reflect on God’s love throughout the day
I really appreciate the structured worship provided by this series. The morning and evening readings and daily meditation are wonderful ways to stay connected to God throughout a busy day. Julian’s focus on God’s vast, forgiving, unconditional love is a comfort in these trying times. All will be well. God has a plan.

Amazing Feminist
It's hard to believe that Julian was writing in the late 1300's. She emphasizes the LOVE of God for all people and calls Jesus the Mother. I can't agree with everything she says, especially about sin but it's a wonderful book and a great way to start and end your day.

I loved this devotional
I loved this devotional! I've been familiar with Julian's work for years and have considered her a special friend in heaven (if only the RCC would canonize her already!), but this was a great way to really dig into it passage by passage and keep pondering her words throughout the day. Some of those lines still form a major part of my prayer life today. "Because He first loved us, so also do we yearn for Him, and there is no bliss without it." I'll definitely be purchasing a few more of the books in this series to add to my prayer book collection.

Daily reflection
I found Julien of Norwich's meditations to be a wonderful source for daily reflection - thought provoking and heart awakening. The format of the book, with readings for morning, during the day and evening, also fits for me.

Practical Spirituality
I liked the practical approach of suggestions regarding the use of the book. For each day it gives a morning item, a 'mantra' for use during the day, and an evening reflexion of tasks based on the reader's own day's experiences. These exercises provide an opportunity to feel the essence of the teachings of Julian, related to your own personal experience of daily living. A friend and I are not academics, but as housegroup leaders felt led to explore the teachings of Julian. We spent the last six months working on her writings and trying to lead our group to benefit also. This book sums up our work by providing an 'every day application' for us all.

Great series
Great series of simple books, easy to use. This one gives a gentle introduction to Julian of Norwich via a series of short meditations and simple prayers for thirty days, so nothing to onerous or taxing, but never the less material is very insightful. Careful thought has obviously gone into the way the material is chosen and presented and catches a flavour of her writings. Might act as an encouragement to explore the original text. Especially liked having the short phrase or sentence to carry a thought throughout the day. Highly recommended

Highly recommended, I have bought extra copies to give to friends.
A thoughtful and thought provoking little book. A quote from Julian of Norwich each day, a one line thought to carry through the day, and an end of day examination on how the quote has affected you during the day, followed by a connected night prayer. A bit like going on a self conducted retreat. Highly recommended, I have bought extra copies to give to friends. Will try others in the series.
