"Julian would be pleased with this rendering of the Showings into contemporary English. The even-handed blending here of simple language and the grandeur of Julian's content is flawless; and the happy result is that the Showings slip into our minds and hearts as effortlessly as if the mystic of Norwich were speaking to us herself, face-to-face and soul-to-soul."
--Phyllis Tickle, founding editor of Publishers Weekly Religion Department, author of The Great Emergence, How Christianity is Changing and Why; The Words of Jesus, A Gospel of the Sayings of Our Lord; and the Divine Hours series.
"Anamchara's All Shall Be Well does for Julian of Norwich what The Message did for the Bible. This paraphrase brings a freshness and vitality to this medieval mystical text that makes its revelation of love come alive. The editors have not been afraid to translate Julian's words in creative and innovative ways, to help readers discover the genius and beauty of her timeless message. This book is a great introduction to Julian's world for those who are new to her writing, but it's full of insight even for those who know her well."
--Carl McColman, author of The Big Book of Christian Mysticism
