About this title

Synopsis

A prayer book that draws from riches of Scripture and Celtic Christianity

Celtic Treasure is a daily prayer book for readers of all ages. In language that is striking in its simplicity and beauty, J. Philip Newell provides a retelling of a Scripture passage along with prayers inspired by the Celtic tradition for each day of the week. Over the course of seven weeks, these daily readings cover the whole arc of Scripture, from the stories of creation and Israel through the life of Jesus and the New Testament letters. Celtic Treasure will enable families to draw regularly from the great riches of Scripture and Celtic Christianity; it can also serve as a refreshing resource for individual or small-group prayer.

Exquisitely illustrated with images from the medieval Book of Kells as well as children’s vibrant interpretations of Celtic art, Newell’s Celtic Treasure will transport readers from the noise and busyness of everyday life into the mystery and wonder of the God who has created us and loves us.
