Newell's Celtic Christ is interwoven with the Creation—they share the same center, the same Heartbeat. The book also explores the notion of salvation in the sense of the oneness of the universe. This is salvation that comes from the wellbeing of the whole rather than only the welfare of the individual.

In an increasingly fragmented world, John Philip Newell calls us to a vision of life's essential oneness. He invites us to be part of a new ancient harmony. In his previous book, Christ of the Celts, Newell freshly expressed the ancient Celtic vision of creation's sacredness and unity. In that poetic treatment of the wisdom of Celtic spirituality, he pointed the way to Christianity more integrated with the earth and with the rest of humanity. A New Ancient Harmony takes the next step forward by articulating a vision and a pathway toward transformation in our lives and world. A New Ancient Harmony honors our distinct inheritances by serving the oneness of our origin and the oneness of earth's destiny.

This illustrated prayer companion provides morning and evening prayer outlines for every day of the week. It is based on the theme of what it means to be made in God's image, with each day focusing on a different aspect of God's nature. In addition to the beloved morning and night prayers from the HB edition, there are four additional prayers. These prayers are a continuation of his vision to bring fresh language to the ancient wisdom of our religious inheritance.

For each morning and evening of the week, John Philip Newell provides strikingly beautiful and profound prayers that call us to be the people Jesus named blessed: “those who know their need,” “those who weep,” “the humble,” “those who hunger for earth’s oneness,” “the forgiving,” “the clear in heart,” and “the peacemakers.”

Whether prayed alone or with others, these richly illustrated, simple liturgies invite and inspire us to live as those whose hearts yearn for peace.

This lavishly illustrated daily prayer book draws on the great spiritual insights and wisdom of the Celtic church, offering prayers and Scripture readings for every morning and evening of the week.

Each day Celtic Benediction invites readers to meditate on a different aspect of the creation story from Genesis. On Sunday the theme is light. In the morning, the prayers and readings lead us to seek the light of the life of God in all his creatures. At night, we meditate on the light that no darkness can overcome as we bring the world and its needs to God. And so on through each day of the week: water, the fruitful earth, the animal world, humanity, playful rest, and all that God has made draw us into intimate prayer. Related Scripture readings are also given for each day of the year, making this a book to use constantly.

Illustrated throughout with colored panels from the Lindisfarne Gospels, Celtic Benediction offers contemporary Christians a unique devotional experience to treasure for a lifetime.

A daily prayer book that invites participation by all ages, Celtic Treasure will enable families to draw regularly from the great riches of Scripture and Celtic Christianity.
