You Looked at Me: The Spiritual Testimony of Claudine Moine [Paperback]

Claudine Moines autobiographical account of her spiritual development, translated by Reverend Gerard Carroll.

In You Looked At Me, Claudine Moine writes a profound autobiographical account of her own spiritual development. Impacted by her experiences as a refugee from the Thirty Years' War, Moine relates a detailed narrative of God's involvement in her life, comprising times of favour, temptation, transverberation and mystical marriage, and the state of darkness that caused her to cease writing.
Illuminated by the translation and collation of Rev. Gerard Carroll, You Looked At Me is a work of extraordinary spiritual and theological richness, offering insights for spiritual seekers and historical researchers alike. It stands in the company of Julian of Norwich's Revelations of Divine Love and The Cloud of Unknowing as a crucial text of historical spirituality.GBVery seldom does one come across any writing, whether of modern or ancient origin, which addresses so well questions relevant to the spiritual vocation in the world, and which so unveils the inner life of one of God's friends.A very substantial introduction and abundant notes enrich this careful translation and help the reader to grasp all the significance of a text now well fast on its way to taking its place among the classcis of spirituality.Very seldom does one come across any writing, whether of modern or ancient origin, which addresses so well questions relevant to the spiritual vocation in the world, and which so unveils the inner life of one of God's friends.A very substantial introduction and abundant notes enrich this careful translation and help the reader to grasp all the significance of a text now well fast on its way to taking its place among the classcis of spirituality.Preface Acknowledgements
