A wonderful book,
By Cynthia (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Holy Companions: Spiritual Practices from the Celtic Saints (Paperback)
This is a marvelous little book on Celtic Spirituality. The authors use both well-known and lesser-known saints as icons into spiritual wisdom. You will find this book is both a great read and useful tool for understanding the spirituality of the Celtic Saints - and applying their wisdom to everyday life.
I have used this book with high school students and adults and all have enjoyed the wisdom that can be gleaned from these pages. This book is useful for both those new to Celtic Spirituality and the Celtophile.

This review is from: Holy Companions: Spiritual Practices from the Celtic Saints (Paperback)
I am carrying this book behind my Bible in my "industrial" Bible cover.
It not only allows me to share some great praise and worship with others, but leaves it handy for me for quieter moments. I just ordered the "Carmina Gadelica", because I wanted more.
