All You Need is Love

All you Need is Love is a study of the writing of the fourteenth century English mystic, Dame Julian of Norwich. Her book, Revelations of Divine Love, the first book written by a woman in English, recalls her experience of the Divine through a series of sixteen visions. These visions contain a simple message: that God loves us and wishes to be loved by us; that "all is well and all manner of thing shall be well." In a world where pain and suffering are all too familiar Julian's words are both a source of comfort and a challenge to our understanding of the human condition. A retired History teacher, David Conduct now lives in Durham where he taught for over twenty years. His studies have taken him through the universities of Hull, London, Warwick and Leicester and his main academic interest lies in the history of ideas. This is his second book. When not writing, he can be found busking in the streets of Durham.
