About the Book

Uncover the history and meaning of Celtic traditions, poetry, songs, and spirituality, in a captivating and comprehensive journey through Ireland. The beauty of the Emerald Isle has always enchanted the world: the ancient ruins, the rolling green hills, the intricately carved crosses in historic graveyards. But the lure of Celtic tradition is more than just the trappings that draw tourists each year--its riches go far deeper and to far more intriguing roots. In Every Earthly Blessing, Esther de Waal takes an intimate and carefully researched look at early Celtic practices and spirituality and their connections to modern Christianity. Her exploration guides readers through every element of Celtic heritage: from songs and poetry, to viewpoints on solitude and pilgrimage, to perspectives on sorrow and healing. Avoiding sentimentalism and romanticism, de Waal casts a keen eye on a culture that has defined the lives and beliefs of so many throughout history--and continues to influence us today. Whether enjoyed in solitude or discussed with friends and family, this is a fascinating and enlightening read guaranteed to spark introspection and conversation.

About the Author :
Esther de Waal lives in Herefordshire, close to the border between England and Wales, having returned to the countryside where she grew up. She is the author of many books, including Living with Contradiction: An Introduction to Benedictine Spirituality and Every Earthly Blessing, both available from Morehouse Publishing.

Review :
"Every Earthly Blessing . . . was among the books that first inspired my own interest in the Celtic Christian tradition. . . . The great merit of Esther de Waal continues to be her ability to avoid naïve romanticism and to combine scholarship and personal devotion in a way that speaks eloquently to contemporary readers." --Philip Sheldrak, author of Living Between Worlds: Place and Journey in Celtic Spirituality "Every Earthly Blessing invites us to experience the depth and beauty of Celtic spirituality. Esther de Waal . . . demonstrates in an easy, readable style the intimate weaving of Celtic thought with early Christian beliefs that have thrived through the centuries. . . . This book, reprinted with a new preface, is an excellent addition to your personal collection of works on spirituality, and is also a wonderful resource to prayer circles. The depth of the faith and thought of Every Earthly Blessing inspires." --Spiritual Book News "Hundreds of books on Celtic spirituality have been published since 1991 when Every Earthly Blessing was first made available, but none has surpassed it. Esther de Waal writes with perceptive insight about the beauty and richness of the Celtic Christian world, especially its poetic tradition, but without romanticizing it. Every Earthly Blessing remains one of the best books in its field." --Cintra Pemberton, OSH, author of Soulfaring: Celtic Pilgrimage Then and Now "Every Earthly Blessing is an enlightening book, reassuring in this unsettling world in which we 'live and move and have our being.' It is to me spellbinding. It is infinitely rereadable." --Barbara Gent, National Altar Guild Association "Deeply satisfying . . . This wonderful overview of Celtic spirituality is a classic in the field." --Values and Visions
