The Celtic Christians beheld the world around them and perceived the divine life of God upholding every aspect of the material universe. Their prayers and poems, their liturgies and their theological texts give Christians a sense of faith that is confident in a merciful and infinitely creative, healing God. In this introduction to Celtic Christian spirituality, Mary C. Earle presents the primary texts from the Celtic Christian tradition - selections from the writings of Pelagius, Eriugena and St Patrick, as well as prayers and poems from Wales, the Outer Hebrides and Ireland. These essential texts direct humanity to read the 'book of creation' as well as the book of scripture, and call us to remember that 'matter matters'. The author's engaging facing-page commentary explores how faithful Christians and spiritual seekers use the writings of this lively tradition as ways of embodying and living the gospel.

An important book for our generation!
In the wake of a generation raised on Dobson’s teaching, Meredith Miller provides a positive alternative for nurturing faith in our children, and healing some of our own hurts as adults in the process. I think this book is vitally important for parents and ALL adults who work with children in a church or similar teaching context. It is practical and hopeful, grounded in research and sound theology. I bought an extra 8 copies so I could run a book club discussion group.

Not just a collection of essays...
...it is a summons, calling us to reckon with the industrial habits that are debasing our land, our communities, and ultimately ourselves. I love this book because it feels both prophetic and pastoral. It unsettles, but it also steadies. It names the crisis honestly, yet refuses despair. It reminds us that the alternative to a world-ending fire is not grand heroics but daily faithfulness—to soil, to neighbour, to limits, and to love. For anyone concerned about creation care, community, or the moral shape of modern life.

Pastors, BUY this book!
Hands down one of the best books I've ever read as a pastor. It applies the gospel deeply and beautifully to the heart. An enjoyable yet pentrating read. Rewards with every re-read.
