FIRST PLACE WINNER of a CATHOLIC BOOK AWARD from The Catholic Press Association.
Award Citation:
“Although many books on the life and spirituality of Julian of Norwich precede Rolf’s, both veteran and newly ordained seekers of the enigmatic mystic Julian will profit from this author’s mastery of the subject matter. Julian’s Revelations takes on a deeper personal nature and relevance when viewed through Rolf’s historical, familial, and theological insights. The author deftly portrays a Julian of her time but for all time -- a voice that speaks to 21st century people with profound wisdom, faithful to Church teachings yet always plumbing its depths.”
