Celtic Rhythms of Life is a most welcome addition to the precious storehouse of prayer books drawing on the Celtic tradition… It is a practical and inspirational resource for both personal and communal use, diving deep into streams of ancient prayer and rooted robustly in the context of contemporary life.

Here are patterns of prayer for each day, to be revisited week by week, and long-loved by the dispersed and diverse Community of Aidan and Hilda. Celtic Rhythms of Life is flexible in its approach, inviting us to explore and reflect until the repeated words become familiar yet challenge us still more deeply. “May the Christ who loves with wounded heart open our hearts to love.”
--Andy Raine, Northumbria Community
All who wish to pattern our spiritual lives after the earliest Celtic saints’ wisdom and faith will be blessed by this beautiful handbook of daily prayer, which brings the ancient Celtic tradition into our age with a dash of poetry and grace.
