In the past ten years, I have published two books on prayer and spirituality and an occasional poem. The Drawing of this Love, a book on Julian of Norwich's Revelations of Divine Love, started life as a Quiet Day on Julian for St. Paul's Cathedral in London. Once the book was published I retuned to St. Paul's to offer a Sunday Forum on Julian and how we grow in faith.
Note Bene: When I was in the monastery, I published under the name "Gregory" which was my name in religion— after leaving, I have used my baptismal name, Robert.
