Hazelnuts from Julian of Norwich: Meditations on Divine Love

By Ellyn Sanna

"The Spirit showed me a tiny thing, the size of a hazelnut," wrote the fourteenth-century mystic, Julian of Norwich. In Julian's vision, the fragile and insignificant hazelnut contains all of Creation-and yet it endures "because God loves it."

Seven hundred years before Rob Bell wrote Love Wins, Julian had already offered the world a vision of God's all-encompassing love. These prayer-poems, based on All Shall Be Well: A Modern-Language Version of the Revelation of Julian of Norwich, are an accessible introduction to Julian's joyous theology of love.

"Take this book from my heart to yours," she wrote. "If you forget all the rest, remember this: Love is everything. Love is God."
