They offer a way to peace, laughter, love, and connection with each other and show us a tender, nurturing God who is as intimate as our own breath. Incandescence offers fresh translations from the writings of famous and not-so-famous mystics: Julian of Norwich, Mechthild of Magdeburg, Catherine of Siena, Hildegard of Bingen, Gertrude of Helfta, Margery Kempe, and others. Each reading includes a meditation, prayer, poem, or song, offering stunning insights on God's divine, mothering love; the guidance of God's light; the sensuality of faith; and more.
