A prolific writer, scholar, philosopher, and theologian, Lull traveled throughout Italy, Africa, and France with a burning desire to inspire conversion through education and instruction, enabling people to defend their faith without violence. The excerpts in this volume were written expressly to the faithful of Rome.
Romancing God offers a glimpse into the life of a devoted soul conversing with his Creator, a learned man finding the meaning of life through his own search and discovery of God's love. Lull's timeless wisdom and guidance, edited for the modern reader by Henry L. Carrigan, Jr., are as relevant today as they were 700 years ago.

From the Back Cover
Seeking union with God, Catalan mystic Ramn Lull (1232-1315) describes, in the ecstatic language of love, the mystical ascent of the soul to God. Well-versed in the traditions of courtly love, Lull delivers a love letter to God in the devotional aphorisms of The Book of the Lover and the Beloveda grand, dazzling poem consisting of 365 short meditations. With its exalted and lyrical prose, Lull's account of his desire for God will inspire readers on their own journeys. The Art of Contemplation offers an instructional guide for the mystical journey, covering topics such as prayer, the sacraments, and virtue. Mr. Carrigan's mild modernization of this classic will introduce Lull's lyrical spirituality to a whole new group of lovers of God.
