Celtic Prayer Book

Thought provoking on how we pray and how only one in the Trinity is the focus of our prayers. Also makes one think about how we have compartmentalized our faith from even the mundane and everyday aspects of our lives when in fact the act of praying continuously would certainly enrich it.

A True Gem

I found this book to be one of the most helpful books on Christian spirituality that I have ever read. The author is an exceptional writer able to distill profound thought into few words. How Much did I like the book? We bought four more for members of our family.

Everyone's Approach to Celtic Prayer

I do appreciate the practical level on which Dr. Miller has put this book together. His book avoids the numerous traps and myths that tend to accompany research on the issue of celtic spirituality. While not extensive on the subject, at 161 pages of text, the book provides a good foundation for prayer life of those desiring a deeper relationship with the Creator. He remarks to his readers that the "book is not a history nor a cultural examination of the Celts" but a guide for prayer (pg 8). The primary source material used and quoted is invaluable for anyone's research. It is a simple read that students of Celtic Christianity will refer to many times over.
