I Promise You a Crown: A 40-Day Journey in the Company of Julian of Norwich (Rekindling the Inner Fire)

Writings that touch the pure-flaming heart of God-from the men and women who walked with Him through the ages-guiding into a deeper friendship with the "Father of Lights."

Why at times do I feel so empty? If I am a Christian, a child of my heavenly Father, why does a barrier of life's pressures, cares, and troubles so often keep me from entering His presence? Is there a spiritual key that will unlock the doors of my soul to His majestic Spirit so that I am crowned with all the blessings that are mine in Christ?

Julian of Norwich (1342-1413) lived when poverty, plagues, war and despotic kings ravaged Europe. A terrifying illness brought her to her deathbed. Then a powerful vision opened up to Julian. She saw the tender, burning, unstoppable love of God, reaching out to touch her. To love and heal the soul of the whole world. And in an instant, waves of health revived her physical body. Love made her well.

Julian's ongoing vision of divine love, recorded over several decades, reigns supreme in all of English devotional writing. Her words will open your heart wide to be touched and crowned with new spiritual life, and with love greater than you have ever known.
