Wisdom from the Middle Ages for Middle-Aged Women

Medieval mystics have much wisdom to offer contemporary middle-agedwomen grappling with empty nests, evolving careers andrelationships, spiritual growth, and physical issues. Mechthild,for example, began her writing career at the age of fifty. And Julian,referring to Christ as “our kind mother, our gracious mother,”has a vision of Christ allowing us to make mistakes, a helpfulimage for women mothering nearly adult children. Each chapterfocuses on a topic of interest to modern middle-aged women.Useful for individuals and groups.
