Dive into the profound depths of Christian spiritualism with The Mirror of Simple Souls, an early 14th-century work by Marguerite Porete. It's exploration of Oneness with God, though influential at the time of its writing, was denounced by Church authorities as heretical and banned for its supposed connection to Antinomianism.

Since its attribution to Porete in the 1940s, The Mirror of Simple Souls has come to be regarded as among the most important works of medieval Christian mysticism.

The book is somewhat difficult but very worth persevering with. The narration -- as with many audiblebooks - is quite poor. The narrator puts a false inflection in her voice which very soon grates and is not read with understanding which makes it difficult to follow. I recommend buying the book and reading it as it is very valuable. Don't let the narratiopn put you off.

Challenging but very interesting book -
