Christian teaching from the lived experience and learnings of the author, weaving in the sayings and wisdom of the contemplatives and mystics from throughout Christian heritage, this book draws the reader into a place of understanding of how to live a life centred on and flowing with the peace of God which ‘transcends understanding’ and shows in practical ways how one can both attain and maintain this in the midst of the busyness of everyday life. With the aid of this book the reader will be able to transition from being someone interested in or simply practicing contemplation to being a contemplative, where their life is, as Thomas Merton said, “a prolonged immersion in the rivers of tranquillity which flow from God, out into the whole universe, and draw all things back to God.”​

An award winning book for both beginners as well as those more practiced at the art of meditation. Explore the Christian theology that underpins meditation, and discover the practical and spiritual benefits of this ancient practice.

This easy to read book has depth, but is also simple to grasp. Some deeply wonderful truths can be found in its pages which are like drops of water on a dry worn out soul. One person described it as ‘the only book on this subject which I was able to fully understand’, another said it was ‘simply the best book out there on this subject’.

The Mystic Path of Meditation will inspire you and deepen your spirituality.

Set out on the inner journey and discover the Divine image that is the light in the center of your being, just like the Celtic Christians knew.

The inner journey has great rewards, but the wild storms, dark nights, and stretches of barren desert can't be avoided. That's why this book was written. It offers an oasis where you can be refreshed along the journey, and a candle or two to carry with you when the nights are dark.

Here you will find opportunities to be better equipped for your journey, here is a guide book for wayfarers, for wanderers, for pilgrims.

Four allegorical tales with a Celtic flavour. One ancient tale retold; 2 contemporary tales retold; and an original tale by the author.

At the end of each story, there is a reflection and meditation to encourage deeper thought.

“Storytelling has long been a part of our humanity…for thousands of years, stories have been told and collected, orally and through writing. Stories help us to make sense of the world...The ancient Celts, like many cultures, loved stories. The eighth-century historian Bede tells us in his Ecclesiastical History of the English People of the ancient Celtic tradition called “Passing of the Harp,” where communities would gather in the Mead Hall, or other communal hall, and tell stories through the evenings around a fire, with food and drink flowing. This tradition was continued in the Celtic monastic communities, such as the one in Whitby, where Bede makes mention of it…storytelling is all about: connecting deep truths with ordinary lives to make those lives extraordinary.” - from introduction.

Prayer rhythms from the Community of Aidan and Hilda, here is a resource to create a daily rhythm of prayer, inspired by historic and contemporary Celtic Christian spirituality and earthed in the activities of everyday living. Celtic Rhythms of Life contains ready-to-use forms of prayer for morning, midday, evening and night prayer, seven days a week. Morning and evening prayer have a choice of four psalms and scripture readings from the Old and New Testaments. Midday and night prayer have short scripture readings printed in the text. Each day also has its own theme, from resurrection on Sundays to the Divine kingdom on Saturdays.

Even those most committed prayer can get stuck in a rut. Loved and familiar ways of praying can become dry and stale and it can be difficult to rekindle the spark, especially if you’ve only ever known a handful of ways to pray. But help is at hand in this wide-ranging and exciting new collection from the Community of Aidan and Hilda. Edited by David Cole, with contributions from 30 members of the globally dispersed Community, ‘Celtic Prayer– Caught Up in Love’ explores 20 different ways of praying from the Celtic Christian tradition. Accessible and inspiring, it will refresh your spirit and draw you deeper into knowing God.

‘This book is the antidote to desiccated prayer. A book of fresh and new ways to commune with the Divine when your prayer life might have become dry and lifeless.’
