Trade Review
"With care and graceful style, Bruce Hozeski has rendered this important but little-known work by one of medieval Europe's great women mystics. This is a valuable contribution to a growing inventory of resources in the history of spirituality."--Ralph Keen, University of Iowa "This volume...discusses the human weaknesses that separate us from god, and focuses on our moral flaws, which appear to be inherent in human consciousness, while revealing the importance of repentane and the virtues of rebuilding our union with God....If you're looking for a handbook of life, here it is."--Medium
