Julian of Norwich: The Showings - Uncovering the Face of the Feminine in Revelations of Divine Love

Mirabai Starr

Sinopsis

"As a major fan and promoter of Julian of Norwich, whom I call 'my favorite mystic', it is genuinely exciting to find such a faithful but freeing translation of Julian's long-lost Showings. Now they are no longer lost—for anyone!"—Fr. Richard Rohr, O.F.M., Center for Action and Contemplation
In this contemporary translation of one of the most beloved and influential mystical texts of all time, Julian of Norwich: The Showings brings the message and spirituality of this 14th-century mystic to 21st-century readers. Revelations of Divine Love, the first book published in English attributed to a woman, is also included.
Julian of Norwich, a contemporary of Geoffrey Chaucer, was an English anchoress in East Anglia. At the age of 30, suffering from a severe illness and believing she was on her deathbed, Julian had a series of intense visions of Jesus, which she recorded and then expanded on later in her life. In her visions, God was not angry and wrathful. Instead, the three properties of God were presented as life, love, and light, and all of His creation was good, including his servant, man. In Julian's version, man is not to blame for his sin; sin is something that he must experience and overcome in his spiritual journey with God.
Her message for today's readers is simply this:
She reveals the feminine face of the Divine and reminds us to see God there.All our failings are an opportunity to learn and grow; they should be honored, but not dwelled upon.God's love has nothing to do with love and retribution and everything to do with love and compassion.In spite of all appearances, all is well. This book contains some of the most profound spiritual writing ever written and remains a perennial favorite among Christians.
This book was previously published as The Showings of Julian of Norwich. This new edition includes a foreword by Richard Rohr, author of Falling Upwards.

Mother's Secret - A...

Marilyn Walls

Artfully blending the genres of memoir and scientific research, Mother's Secret: A Nutritionist's View of Family and Alzheimer's Disease offers the compelling story of one woman's southern roots. She is familiar, perhaps like your mother or grandmother, a woman who gained strength during the upheavals of the Great Depression and World War II. Her independence served her well until dementia overwhelmed her and challenged her relationship with her daughters. 
Sadly, the spread of progressive brain disorders is wider than the Mississippi River. Mother's Secret, a hybrid book confronting these issues, combines personal experiences with information about a healthful diet, the benefits of botanicals, and current discoveries about brain function. Walls' powerful story will resonate with families affected by Alzheimer's, students in holistic or social programs, those wanting to make better choices for their own cognitive health, and anyone who likes a good read. While looking directly at the realities of Alzheimer's, the narrative transcends the disease to reveal both the loss and the glory of this mother's life.

Quel che ho da dire è che sono...

Bartolomeo Vanzetti

Vanzetti nacque a Villafalletto, in provincia di Cuneo, l'11 giugno del 1888, primogenito dei quattro figli di Giovanna Nivello (1862-1907) e Giovanni Battista Vanzetti (1849-1931), modesto proprietario terriero e gestore di una piccola caffetteria. Pur non vivendo in ristrettezze economiche, a spingerlo a emigrare negli Stati Uniti d'America furono soprattutto l'improvvisa e tragica morte dell'amata madre, che lo portò quasi alla follia, e probabilmente una consuetudine familiare (anche il padre era stato emigrante per un breve periodo, dal 1881 al 1883 in California). Fece molti lavori, accettando tutto ciò che gli capitava. Lavorò in varie trattorie, in una cava, in un'acciaieria e in una fabbrica di cordami, la Plymouth Cordage Company. Spirito libero e indipendente, era un avido lettore soprattutto delle opere di Marx, Darwin, Hugo, Gorkij, Tolstoj, Zola e Dante. Nel 1916 guidò uno sciopero contro la Plymouth e per questo motivo nessuno volle più dargli un lavoro. Più tardi, nel 1919, si mise in proprio facendo il pescivendolo fino al momento dell'arresto.
