Margery Kempe ~ A Mighty Faith ~ Christian Mystics

A reading of excerpts from Margery Kempe's autobiography 'The Book of Margery Kempe.' A number of translations have been consulted to render the writing into modern English parlance.

Margery Kempe (c. 1373 – after 1438) was an English Catholic mystic, known for writing through dictation The Book of Margery Kempe, a work considered by some to be the first autobiography in the English language. Her book chronicles her domestic tribulations, her extensive pilgrimages to holy sites in Europe and the Holy Land, as well as her mystical conversations with God. She is honoured in the Anglican Communion, but has not been canonised as a Catholic saint.
