Synopsis

The Book of the Visions and Instructions of the Blessed Angela of Foligno In Plain English
By Angela of Foligno, Modernized by Ben Kucenski

In this extraordinary spiritual autobiography, the 13th-century mystic Angela of Foligno recounts her profound journey from worldly comfort to radical poverty, self-denial, and ecstatic union with God. Through eighteen “steps” of conversion, she moves from initial awareness of sin and deep contrition to mystical visions, divine conversations, and intimate encounters with Christ, the Virgin Mary, and the Holy Spirit.

Angela’s visions range from the searing reality of Christ’s Passion to overwhelming experiences of divine beauty, power, justice, love, and the “immense darkness” in which God surpasses all human thought. Her writings blend raw honesty about her struggles, temptations, and self-accusations with luminous descriptions of grace, mystical union, and the peace that comes from surrendering completely to God.
Part confessional memoir, part mystical theology, The Book of the Visions and Instructions is a powerful testimony of spiritual transformation—one that has inspired seekers for centuries. This modern English edition preserves the intensity and immediacy of Angela’s voice, making her timeless wisdom accessible to contemporary readers who long for deeper intimacy with God.

Perfect for:

• Readers of Christian mysticism and medieval spirituality
• Fans of The Cloud of Unknowing, Julian of Norwich, or St. Teresa of Avila
• Those seeking an unflinching yet hope-filled account of the soul’s journey to God
