Publisher's Synopsis
A Gracious Life is a biography written by Emily Bowles that chronicles the life of Barbara Acarie, also known as Blessed Mary of the Incarnation. Acarie was a French mystic and Carmelite nun who lived during the 16th and 17th centuries. The book explores her early life as a wife and mother, her eventual conversion to Catholicism, and her decision to become a nun. It also delves into her spiritual journey and the visions and revelations she experienced throughout her life. Bowles draws from a variety of sources, including Acarie's own writings and the accounts of those who knew her, to present a detailed and intimate portrait of this remarkable woman. A Gracious Life is a fascinating look at the life of a devout Catholic and mystic who made a significant impact on the religious landscape of her time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
