In Celtic Spirituality, acclaimed translator and scholar Philip
Freeman allows the voices of the Celts to speak once more. Though
the Celtic civilization has long disappeared, lingering traces of
their spirituality haunt Ireland and the surrounding land.
Tantalizing snippets of faded manuscript pages, ancient stone
carvings, and spells from the mystery-shrouded Druids have sparked
the imagination of generations of modern seekers. Translated from
their original languages--Gaulish, Latin, Irish, and Welsh--the
passages and stories in Celtic Spirituality are true artifacts of
the Celts' vibrant and varied religion from both the pre-Christian
and early Christian period. From a ritual of magical inspiration to
stories of the ancient gods and adventures of long-forgotten
heroes, Freeman has unearthed a stunning collection of Celtic work.
The translation is accessible to the modern reader, but maintains
the beauty and vibrancy of the original. Celtic Spirituality
includes material that has never been translated before, offering a
new glimpse into the wisdom and wild magic of the Celts.

What if we lived in a world of abundance? In the Beatitudes, Jesus
offers nine sayings that move us beyond our first instincts and
instead embrace the deeper reality of the kingdom of God. They name
the illusions and false beliefs that have kept us chained and
imprisoned. We've learned to live from a mentality of anxiety and
greed, but what if a world of abundance with solace and comfort are
actually near? We've learned to live by striving, competition, and
comparison, but what if we all have equal dignity and worth? Mark
Scandrette shows how the Beatitudes invite us into nine new
postures for life. Instead of living in fear, we can choose radical
love. It's often assumed that the good life is only for the most
wealthy, attractive, and powerful. Poor, sad, and suffering people
are left out. But the ninefold path of the Beatitudes is for
everyone. Whatever your story, whatever your struggle, wherever you
find yourself, this way is available to you.
