" I have found this to be one of the most personal bookstores I have worked with online and over the phone. They also send a personal message with each shipment. I asked them to inscribe a book for me that I was sending to my daughter, and they did this as well. They tell us to wait until some things are on sale before we purchase. This is one of the last personal bookstores that seem to really care about their customers."

Drawing from her published writings, editor Lisa Dahill here selects forty inspiring passages from Julian's work that help illustrate God's love and compassion for all. A medieval Catholic, Julian was seen as a precursor to Martin Luther and other Reformation writers. Much of what she wrote speaks of the most profound mysteries of the Christian faith, and her Sixteen Revelations of Divine Love (circa 1393) is considered to be one of the most remarkable documents of medieval religious experience. In it she speaks of the great love of God for God's people and how sin stands in the way. It is Jesus, however, who assures her, "that all would be well, and all manner of things would be well."
40-Day Journey with Julian of Norwich begins with a short introduction to the life of Julian and then offers forty chapters, each of which includes a reading from her writings, related Scripture passages, questions to ponder, journal-reflection exercises, and a prayer. The book also includes helps on how to use the book and hints on keeping a journal along with ideas for further reading. Each chapter in the book includes space for notes.

Dahill to Teach CDSP Summer Course |
The Rev. Dr. Lisa Dahill, a spirituality scholar, teacher, and spiritual director thinks that many people have come to the conclusion that liturgical worship has nothing to do with the “real” spirituality of daily life.
“Many Christians, even lifelong worshippers, struggle at times to engage more deeply with the mystery we celebrate each Lord’s day,” she says. “We may wonder if there is more to faith than we are experiencing. Some even leave their congregations or denominations, or the Christian church entirely, convinced that these inherited rituals are a far cry from ‘real’ spirituality which by definition must be found elsewhere.”
But Professor Dahill suggests that there are other ways to inhabit our traditions that draw a deeper level of spiritual experience from Sunday worship and allow us to carry that richness into the rest of the week. Drawing from her book Truly Present: Practicing Prayer in the Liturgy, Dahill will offer a weeklong course in CALL’s Summer Program that invites participants to open up the worship experience into more meaningful, living spiritual engagement in daily life. Dahill’s course, Living Worship: Practicing Prayer in Liturgy and Life, will be held July 13-17 at CDSP’s Easton Hall Conference Center. Professor Dahill will also be discussion her recent book "A Forty Day Journey with Julian of Norwich" in a special evening session.

Very well put-together useful suggestions for thinking theology. I also have Dame Julian's Revelations of Divine Love for which this "journey" approach is acting as an introduction.
I'm not rushing it, however. It sometimes takes me several days to accomplish one meditation so it may take me 80 days. It could be done in 40 days tho.
