While it may seem that everything that can be said about Celtic spirituality has been said, this outstanding book has already established itself as a classic and as essential reading. Its beauty and wisdom lingers in the mind and in the heart.First published in 1996, it has sold tens of thousands of copies throughout the world and a new edition is to be welcomed. Esther writes as a historian and as a spiritual guide, avoiding the sentimentality that is so easily associated with Celtic spirituality. She draws on its rich literary and artistic traditions and its earthy realism to make vital and life-giving connections between the Celtic Christian world and the toughness and challenges of our own world. Here is a spirituality that we can live by with honesty, commitment and truthfulness. Chapters include: Journeying, the Presence of God, Image and Song, time, Dark Forces, The Cross, Praise and Healing for the World.

Originally published in 1996, updated and re-issued in 2003 by Hodder and Stoughton, and now this latest reprint by Canterbury Press, of a much loved book that has become a classic. Esther de Waal’s great love of the way of Celtic Christianity shines like a light through this book, drawing you on to share in this enthusiasm, and learn something of why it has made such a powerful impact upon her. I quote ‘ The God who the Celtic peoples know is above all the Godhead who is Trinity, the God whose very essence is that of a threefold unity of persons, three persons bound in a unity of love.’ The many examples of prayers from the everyday lives of Celtic people passed down through the generations, woven closely into their lives, their acceptance of everything in God’s creation as a glory and a blessing, have much to teach us. An absorbing book.
