  Christ
of the Celts: The Healing of
Creation
Diagnosing the human soul
with a longing for peace in
the face of fear and
fragmentation nurtured by
global political forces and
fundamentalisms, Newell
offers the ancient
traditions of Celtic
Christianity as a way
forward in healing humankind
and the earth.An
international retreat leader
who is the former warden of
Scotland’s Iona abbey, the
author of Listening for
the Heartbeat of God
argues we discover unity as
we become connected to one
another and “allow ourselves
to be surprised by the
Presence that is within
creation and within the
human soul.” Drawing on
ancient and contemporary
sources both within and
outside the conventional
Christian canon, Newell is
critical of, and offers
alternatives to, ancient
Christian doctrines like
creation ex nihilo (out of
nothing), original sin and
substitutionary atonement.
Although the volume has some
winning and touching
anecdotes about the writer’s
own spiritual journey and
heroes, it is frustratingly
gauzy in parts. Written with
an inviting sensitivity to
other faith traditions, this
introduction to a “Celtic
Christ” will most likely
appeal to those who find
Christ-tinged creation
spirituality in an
interfaith context
appealing. (May) (Publishers
Weekly, March 2008)

  The
Celtic Way of Prayer by Esther De Waal
"Esther
de Waal's unique contribution to Celtic
Christian studies is that she is never
outside her subject. Her constant ability to
apply the life of those earlier centuries to
her own devotional life makes it possible
for those of us who read her to encounter
those people in such a way that their
Christian journey can become food and drink
for us in the hunger and thirst of our own
century." --Herbert O'Driscoll, author of
A Doorway in Time

  How
the Irish Saved Civilization (Hinges of
History)
by Thomas Cahill
In this
delightful and illuminating look into a
crucial but little-known "hinge" of history,
Thomas Cahill takes us to the "island of
saints and scholars," the Ireland of St.
Patrick and the Book of Kells. Here, far
from the barbarian despoliation of the
continent, monks and scribes laboriously,
lovingly, even playfully preserved the
West's written treasury. When stability
returned in Europe, these Irish scholars
were instrumental in spreading learning,
becoming not only the conservators of
civilization, but also the shapers of the
medieval mind, putting their unique stamp on
Western culture.

  Drinking
from the Sacred Well: Personal Voyages of
Discovery with the Celtic Saint
by John Matthews
The Celtic
saints offered a crucial model for spiritual
awareness, according to renowned Celtic
scholar John Matthews. They held a
profoundly intimate relationship with the
natural and ethereal worlds, always
recognizing their purpose within the context
of creation. "By cutting ourselves off from
nature, by telling ourselves we are
separate, unique, powerful in our own right,
we are doing the equivalent of cutting off
our limbs," he explains.

  The
Celtic Soul Friend: A Trusted Guide for
Today
by Edward C. Sellner
"Anyone without a soul friend
is like a body without a head," St. Brigit
once said. What was true for Brigit in fifth
century Ireland is all the more true for us
in the complex and increasingly cynical
world of the twenty-first century
To be a soul friend,
Edward Sellner reminds us, "is to provide a
place of sanctuary to another where, through
our acceptance, love, and hospitality, he or
she can grow in wisdom, and both of us in
depth." With deep personal conviction and
with lively scholarship, Sellner describes
the history of the anamchara or soul friend
and the early Celtic Church out of which it
arose.
