Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“This book inspires us to say ‘yes’ to life by giving us tastes of Celtic spiritual treasures. Carl McColman is a true shanachie—he loves telling stories that make our hearts sing.”

Dove of White Flame

Fiction

“The author traces Columba’s life from holy birth to student under Ireland’s best tutors, from founder of monastic communities to his exile and last great foundation at Iona. . . . She captures for us his prophetic talent, his love of nature and poetry, his flaws, but above all his passion for God. Columba stands astride Britain and Ireland, a symbol in a post-Brexit world of the fellowship that can flourish again between these two lands. In a time of flight from abusive hierarchy in the church, this book sparks hope that new, grassroots monastic communities may revive the love of Christ among our peoples today.”
