Product Description

For many Christians, the world equates with "worldliness" and it is to be avoided for fear of damage to their spiritual health. Celtic Christianity differs from this in that it sees in all creation the reflection of God's goodness and beauty which sin might mar, but can never destroy. This book explores the Celtic view of creation and each chapter focuses on an aspect of God revealed in creation to transform our view of created matter.

Customer Reviews

Great
I absolutely LOVED this book. It is, basically, a meditation on the beginning of Genesis. It is split up into seven days, with each day having a different topic, such as the stillness of God, the wildness of God, or the light of God. At the end of each day there is a verse you are encouraged to meditate on.
Great ideas for Christians and non-Christians learning about Celtic Christianity, Creation spirituality or Christian nature mysticism.
