The writings of Julian of Norwich are more popular and relevant than the 14th century mystic could ever have dreamed they would become. Speaking with freshness, depth and poignancy, they offer timeless wisdom and understanding for present day concerns. For Isobel de Gruchy, Julian was a great support during many difficult years of ministry in South Africas apartheid era, but it was when her son was killed in an accident that she found unexpected reserves of spiritual insight and strength. This new volume offers a series of forty short reflections that demonstrate Julians abiding influence. Each contains a scripture reading, an excerpt from her Showings, a meditation, a prayer-poem and questions for reflection. Making All Things Well opens up Julians central themes - such as the mystery of suffering, the promise that we shall overcome evil, prayer and contemplation, the faithfulness and love of God towards all he has made - and relates them to the many challenges we encounter today. It is ideal for personal reading during Lent, or at any time of year, for a retreat, for group reflection and as a worship resource.
