Water from an Ancient Well: Celtic Spirituality for Modern Life: Pilgrimage Study Edition - Paperback

by Kenneth McIntosh (Author)

This new version has more than 150 pages of previously unpublished material, including illustrated guides to Celtic pilgrimage sites, study questions, and updated research.

Using story, scripture, reflection, and prayer, Kenneth McIntosh offers us a taste of the living water that refreshed the ancient Celts, allowing them to perceive God as a living Presence in everybody and everything. This Earth-based and inclusive perspective suggests life-giving alternatives to modern faith practices, opening the door to a Christianity big enough to embrace the entire world.
"If you want to run away to paradise for a couple of days, and drink living water from a source unlike any other, read Kenneth McIntosh's deeply satisfying book."

-Leonard Sweet, best-selling author of Nudge: Awakening Each Other to the God Who's Already There and So Beautiful: Divine Design for Life and the Church

"This book offers profound insights into a very different way of living our Christianity. If we were to take seriously what the author offers us in this book, we would experience a paradigm shift in our approach to spirituality." -Dara Malloy, Celtic priest and monk on Inis Mor in the Aran Islands, Ireland
"McIntosh takes us to places made sacred by inspired believers, depicting their lives as a romance that proved itself in everyday things. He invites us to enter into a similar Divine love affair that involves the whole of life. This book could become a classic." -Ray Simpson, author of A Celtic Book of Days: Ancient Wisdom and Celtic Christianity: Deep Roots for a Modern Faith and Founding Guardian of the International Community of Aidan and Hilda
