Summary
Esther de Waal aims to reacquaint the world with the glorious legacy of Celtic Christianity, with its monastic prayer and praise (the foundation stone of Celtic Christianity), early Irish litanies, medieval Welsh praise poems, and the wealth of blessings that come from the oral tradition that made praying a part of daily living. Along the way she reveals a tradition rooted not in the dead past but a living spring, ancient and yet always new-a way of prayer drawing on both the pre-Christian past and on the fullness of the Gospel.

by Oliver Davies

Listening for the Heartbeat of God
by J. Philip Newell
This overview of Celtic spirituality goes far beyond New Age considerations and even beyond the usual look at Irish saints. Instead Newell, former Warden of Scotland's Iona Community, explains Celtic spirituality itself -- its theology, its history, how it was overshadowed by the Roman sense of church, and how it has resurfaced as a deep, rich, vibrant way of life. Newell's main point is that Celtic spirituality is neither a thing of the past nor a New Age fad. It is a joyful celebration of everyday physical life that fully integrates male and female into both its imagery and actual religious practice. It is a profound spirituality that is rooted in tradition yet has profound meaning for us today.

You can pray with confidence that you are praying according to God's will -- when you pray the Scriptures back to God. Dr. Kenneth Boa has selected, adapted, and personalized passages of Scripture to guide and encourage you. Each of these two prayer handbooks offers a different method of prayer. Praying the Scriptures for Intimate Worship guides you through three months of daily prayers of adoration, confession, renewal, petition, intercession, affirmation, and thanksgiving. Praying the Scriptures for Spiritual Growth provides daily affirmations from God's Word that will "renew your mind" as you focus on the attributes of God, the works of God, your relationship to God, the character you want to cultivate, and your relationships to others. These pocket-sized prayer handbooks will inspire you to a habit of daily prayer -- in words from God's Word.
