Earth Afire with God: Celtic Prayers for Ordinary Life

Earth Afire with God: Celtic Prayers for Ordinary Life

Here are prayers and blessings to sanctify your daily life. They will remind you to look for the holiness of the everyday; they will show you the real presence of God in Creation. <br /> <br />Kenneth McIntosh, author of Water from an Ancient Well, Celtic Spirituality for Modern Life, writes, "The folks at Anamchara Books have done a real favor for all of us who struggle to integrate communion with God into our increasingly busy and complex lives. These short but powerful prayers connect daily routines€"washing in the morning, starting the car, seeing a child off to school, or sitting at our computer€"with the comforting Divine Presence. This book knocks the dust off ancient treasures€"such as selections from the Carmina Gadelica€"and also introduces some lovely new prayers, all written from the Celtic perspective. Earth Afire with God will bless individuals' lives and be equally as useful for small group or worship gatherings." <br /> <br />Illumine your life with the ancient Celts' perspective on prayer. Each glimpse we have of the Earth's beauty, each ordinary sound we hear, every bite of food we eat, and even our daily routines, can all reveal God. This book will help you recognize the everyday revelations that surround you.
