About this title

Synopsis

This lovely collection of Gaelic prayers, praises, and blessings captures the deeply devotional spirit of Celtic Christianity. Selected from G. R. D. McLean's translations of traditional Gaelic poems in Poems of the Western Highlanders, the approximately one hundred works collected here are known to date back several centuries. Yet they can - often with little or no adaptation - be used perfectly well by Christians today. Though they arise out of a social structure now largely vanished, these poems still address the unchanging basics of human life - bodily needs, the daily round, family love, our fears and temptations, and the need for security.
Arranged into categories convenient for practical use, these inspirational prayers, praises, and blessings are a wonderful resource for enriching personal devotions.
