It does not purport to be academic theology or history but is in fact something much more interesting. It opens the world of the Celtic saints and shows us how their way of understanding and living a life based on the Gospel aligns with and is different from our own. Using Bede’s \u003cem\u003eEcclesiastical History of the English People \u003c\/em\u003eand other primary sources, Mitton has chosen the issues which interest him most and the saint whose life best demonstrates an issue. He tells the story of the saint with additional background and reflection; then gives a Bible reading, questions for meditation, and a prayer. The Saints’ lives are related uncritically. I would read them as poetry rather than history: they tell a different kind of truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story of Patrick leads into a discussion on prayer; Illtyd, whom some regard as the founder of the Welsh church, is used to engage in a thoughtful piece on spiritual battle. I was particularly taken by the idea of encompassing or encircling prayer and the prayer known as St Patrick’s Breastplate. I know and love this prayer in the sung version known as ‘The Deer’s Cry’, which begins ‘I arise today through the power of Heaven.’ Brigid is used to show the important ministry of women. The story of Brendan leads into ideas of the Celtic spirit of adventure, the divine restlessness which sent Brendan and others across the seas, ‘not only to spread the Gospel but with a mystical quest to seek glimpses of paradise.’ The story of David is used to show the importance of community. His chapter also explains the concept of the ‘soul-friend’ or anamchara, a spiritual guide or counsellor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI was particularly pleased to find a chapter on Columba and care for Creation. I have never been to Lindisfarne, but Iona I know well. Mitton quotes in full a beautiful poem by Columba which takes me back to Iona immediately. It begins, ‘Delightful it is to stand on the peak of a rock, in the bosom of the isle, gazing on the face of the sea.’ This chapter also reminds us that the Celtic love for Creation included the animal world. It mentions the story of Cuthbert and the otters, which I first read in Helen Waddell’s book \u003cem\u003eBeasts and Saints \u003c\/em\u003e(1934).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chapter on Columbanus and Evangelism I found more challenging. Mitton praises the cultural sensitivity of the Celtic saints who went to live alongside the people they wished to convert, respecting their beliefs. He cites the custom of well-dressing in Derbyshire as an example. ‘For example, a well dedicated to the water-sprite Eilan was rededicated to St Helen.’ He sees similarities here with some of the Fresh Expressions that are emerging in the church today. He moves on to talk about the Pioneer Ministry, church planting, Power Evangelism, Alpha and ‘Healing on the Streets’. He states that the witness of the Celtic church ‘challenges the unbelief in the church today, which is only just beginning to emerge from the cold grip of rationalism.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chapter on Fursey opens a discussion on prophetic vision and the imagination, saints foretelling the future and revealing events that were happening elsewhere. ‘In charismatic circles nowadays, it would be said that Cuthbert had been given “a word of knowledge”.’ They looked for signals from heaven in nature and dreams and were sensitive to ‘disturbances in the air’. As Mitton writes, ‘This openness to the intuitive, together with the confident anticipation that God delighted to communicate with his people, meant that the Celtic church often went about its decision-making processes in rather different ways from the church of today.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chapter on Aidan is on authenticity and contains an interesting comparison between Celtic Aidan or Cuthbert and Roman Wilfrid. Wilfrid was not content with an austere life and went in for rather grander things. The chapter on Boisil emphasises the importance of the Bible, especially the Psalms and the Gospel of John. In the chapter on Cuthbert and respect for children, there is the story of a three year old boy who prophesied to the eight year old Cuthbert to give up idle play because he was to become a most holy priest and bishop. I would be cautious today about encouraging children to prophesy, but we do spend a lot of time attempting to heal the Inner Child in the adult.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the final chapters of his book, Mitton reflects on Celtic creativity through Hilda and Caedmon, and laments that the church today is still ‘bound up in its addiction to words’. I like words myself, and art. I am less enamoured of digital projectors and flags. There is a challenging chapter on Death and the Dead which begins with the story of Drythelm and his after-death experience. The final chapter is on John of Beverley and healing experiences. The ability to heal was then seen as evidence of holiness, as was the concept of the uncorrupted body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have learned such a lot from this book. Michael Mitton wears his learning lightly and has made it eminently accessible to the lay person. I have found the prayers both beautifully phrased and useful. Although I am not particularly charismatic in my own devotional and spiritual life, I hope to include the Celtic strand in future and to restore the woven cord in myself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReview by Pat Neal\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2019-01-18T15:26:23+00:00","created_at":"2019-01-18T15:26:25+00:00","vendor":"Michael Mitton","type":"Paperback","tags":["Celtic Christianity","Feb-19","For churches","For individuals","KCLC","Kindle","Spirituality","Torch Trust"],"price":999,"price_min":999,"price_max":999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":21770437034084,"title":"Paperback","option1":"Paperback","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9780857468628","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":{"id":7437125419108,"product_id":2439839842404,"position":1,"created_at":"2019-01-18T15:26:25+00:00","updated_at":"2019-02-01T17:45:07+00:00","alt":null,"width":426,"height":650,"src":"\/\/www.brfresources.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9780857468628-l.jpg?v=1549043107","variant_ids":[21770437034084]},"available":true,"name":"Restoring the Woven Cord: Strands of Celtic Christianity for the Church today - Paperback","public_title":"Paperback","options":["Paperback"],"price":999,"weight":200,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9780857468628","featured_media":{"alt":null,"id":3238883033227,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.655,"height":650,"width":426,"src":"\/\/www.brfresources.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9780857468628-l.jpg?v=1549043107"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/www.brfresources.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9780857468628-l.jpg?v=1549043107"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.brfresources.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9780857468628-l.jpg?v=1549043107","options":["Format"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":3238883033227,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.655,"height":650,"width":426,"src":"\/\/www.brfresources.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9780857468628-l.jpg?v=1549043107"},"aspect_ratio":0.655,"height":650,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfresources.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9780857468628-l.jpg?v=1549043107","width":426}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eWhen they discover Celtic spirituality, many Christians feel that in some sense they have come home.

Review by Richard Appleton\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChristian lives are about relationships – with neighbours, friends, family and God. Healthy relationships demand healthy communication. Our route of communication with God is with prayer, both structured and spontaneous. As with any genre of communication, prayer is not always easy, and guidance is often needed. This book provides a scripturally-themed and practical guide to help us improve our prayer lives. It uses twelve different prayer topics: Encounter, Worship, Listening, Stillness, Action, Intercession, Strategy, Restoration, Voice and body, Scripture, Warfare, and Resilience, each with a dedicated chapter in a practicable format for both individual and groups. Readers will be enriched by many or all of these chapters. Two phrases stand out: ‘Stop trying to make yourself a different shape when you pray’, a theme mirrored in the chapter on resilience; and ‘Remember he made you just the way you are. He doesn’t want you to emulate someone else’s prayer rhythm’. Another phrase, ‘Let prayer permeate everything we do’, echoes Paul’s striking exhortation to ‘Pray continually’ (1 Thessalonians 5: 17) – an exhortation which should mould our communication and strengthen our personal relationship with God. This book will help us achieve this, but only with God’s grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Richard Appleton\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e___________________________________________\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview by Alistair Barton, Director of Pray for Scotland\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have read my fair share of books on prayer – about ways of praying, the power of prayer, answers to prayer, praise and prayer – and more.
