Revelations of Divine Love by Julian of Norwich

3.0

---

If you're interested in the only writings of a woman recluse that're known to have survived, and to watch a woman call Christ a Mother and struggle with whether sin really can exist or not - it's not exactly light reading but it is interesting reading. Not gonna lie, it's a good bedtime book - knocks me out in five pages flat unless I'm reading it out loud - but I appreciate it for its historical significance and theological takes. If you can read past the archaic speech, this really is an encouraging piece about God's everlasting love and devotion to mankind, diminishes sin as an irrevocably conscious, rebellious act, and yes the Jesus is our Mother thing is pretty cool.

If that's not your thing, learn a little bout the history around it and read the cliffnotes.
