Media Reviews
You may have valued for many years the wisdom of the unknown fourteenth century author who wrote The Cloud of Unknowing or you may have never opened its pages - either way you will find, as I have, much of value in this book. You may know the work of Elizabeth Obbard through the pages of this magazine: her take on Julian of Norwich and her delightfully simple but profound line drawings. This simplified version of the cloud, which can, in some translations, be difficult, is so accessible and yet it retains the profundity of the original classic book of instruction on contemplative prayer. I used it over several weeks for my morning prayer and silence. It is comfortably divided into short sections and every one can be mulled over and can bring one to (at least moments of!) quiet contemplation. I know it will repay further study. - Janet Robinson, The Julian Meetings Magazine April 2009
