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 Africa's apartheid era, but it was when her son was killed in an accident that she found unexpected reserves of spiritual insight and strength. Making All Things Well opens up Julian's 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. Offering forty short reflections that demonstrate Julian's abiding influence, 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. Each contains a scripture reading, an excerpt from her Showings, a meditation, a prayer-poem and questions for reflection.

This is a wonderful book that takes the thoughts and writings of Julian of Norwich as the basis of a daily meditation and then builds on them with wonderful poetic insight and real consideration that helps to highlight how wonderfully relevant these writings of a mystic from the 14th Century can still be today. Indeed De Gruchy's work is vivid with human insight gained through hardship and loss, that so well reflects and interacts with Julian's work that sometimes it is almost a little hard to tell which is the original work of Julian as opposed to just a modern translation or reinterpretation. This is a wonderful book for daily quiet times regardless of whether you have ever encountered the work of Julian of Norwich or not, However if you have then you will find this work to be even more insightful and a wonderful addition to your library. If you already attend a Julian Group then this book is likely to be a positive must indeed.
