Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A SIX-WEEK Advent devotional guide. Is your journey to Christmas usually filled with thoughts of wishing you could skip right past the season? Does your pace of life become so fast that you feel you are spinning out of control? Would you like to find a more peace-filled path on which you can journey this year? Then this is the book for you. We will begin our journey on November 11th and walk the ancient path of the early Celtic Christians. Traveling in the company of Saints, sinners and storytellers, you will be invited to embrace a new, yet old, approach to Advent. Together we will recover the map they followed and find the treasure they found: the treasure of Emmanuel – God with us.From Gordon MacDonald's Foreword:"Should you choose to follow Jean through the Advent weeks, lighting candles as you go along, you'll find a set of uplifting and deepening reflections for every day. They are not burdensome or time-consuming.Each reading is designed to help us center our thoughts upon the true thrust of Advent. In this book there are rousing Celtic prayers:I bind unto myself the name,The strong name of the Trinity,By invocation of the same,The Three in One and One in Three . . . .There are wonderful stories: “I was five years old,” Jean writes, “and Christmas was coming.” You can't imagine what comes next as Jean reminisces on the generosity of God as understood through the eyes of a child.There are old hymns: “Will your anchor hold in the storms of life, when the clouds unfold their wings of strife. . ..”Great Psalms . . . encouraging promises . . . poems from the heart of the great mothers and fathers of the Christian movement.In giving us this spiritual guide for Advent, Jean Hess has provided us a wonderful gift. I am among those who are truly grateful."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fierce warriors and skilled craftsmen, the Celts were famous throughout the Ancient Mediterranean World. They were the archetypal barbarians from the north and were feared by both Greeks and Romans. For two and a half thousand years they have continued to fascinate those who have come into contact with them, yet their origins have remained a mystery and even today are the subject of heated debate among historians and archaeologists. Barry Cunliffe's classic study of the ancient Celtic world was first published in 1997. Since then huge advances have taken place in our knowledge: new finds, new ways of using DNA records to understand Celtic origins, new ideas about the proto-urban nature of early chieftains' strongholds, All these developments are part of this fully updated , and completely redesigned edition. Cunliffe explores the archaeological reality of these bold warriors and skilled craftsmen of barbarian Europe who inspired fear in both the Greeks and the Romans. He investigates the texts of the classical writers and contrasts their view of the Celts with current archaeological findings. Tracing the emergence of chiefdoms and the fifth- to third-century migrations as far as Bosnia and the Czech Republic, he assesses the disparity between the traditional story and the most recent historical and archaeological evidence on the Celts. Other aspects of Celtic identity such as the cultural diversity of the tribes, their social and religious systems, art, language and law, are also examined. From the picture that emerges, we are — crucially — able to distinguish between the original Celts, and those tribes which were 'Celtized', giving us an invaluable insight into the true identity of this ancient people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christine Valters Paintner, author of Water, Wind, Earth, and Fire, invites readers to discover and develop their creative gifts in a spirit of prayer and reflection. This twelve-week course draws on the insights and practices of Benedictine spirituality to explore the interplay between contemplation and creativity. Summarized in the phrase "pray and work," The Rule of St. Benedict provides the inspiration for Christine Valters Paintner's newest exploration of the mutually nourishing relationship between contemplative practices and creative expression. Artists of all stripes and stations in life--poets or painters, potters or photographers--will discover how traditions of Benedictine, Celtic, and desert spirituality can offer new sources of inspiration for their work. Through this twelve-week course, themes like "Sacred Tools and Sacred Space," "Creative Solitude and Community," and "Nature as a Source of Revelation and Inspiration" are enriched by Paintner's perceptive discussion and enhanced by insightful quotations from well-known artists and writers. Each week offers suggestions for grounding both the creative and the spiritual life through three basic practices: walking, lectio divina, and journaling. In sync with Paintner's vibrant Internet presence, The Artist's Rule is supplemented with online resources, including guided meditation podcasts, video lessons, and discussions.

Your personal guide on the use of highly effective sacramentals, devotions and prayers as a means of protection of body and soul, aiding in one's salvation and getting your prayers answered quickly. Throughout the ages, many of these practices have been forgotten and been under attack from the enemies of religion fighting hard to suppress them. In this captivating and mind-blowing book, Steve Margala, Catholic author, researcher, military veteran, and photographer, who is an expert at educating people on the dangers of the occult, delves deep into medieval history and old church documents to reintroduce these precious sacramentals, devotionals and prayers to the modern world. Just some of the topics covered are: - Saints who promised at their deaths to aid those who call upon them. - Sacramentals that bring about safe travels for you and your family. - Effective sacramentals which combat sickness and disease and can bring about cures. - The sacramental that's proven time and time again to rid haunted houses and break curses. - The most powerful devotion that breaks addictions, decreases sin, and will put you on the fast track to salvation. - The sacramentals that brings people into the church when given to them by others. - The sacramentals that can protect your vehicles and home from thieves, plagues, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes and ones that can bring about good weather. - St. John Vianney tells us the sacramental that "makes all of hell tremble" and protects one from the "vengeance of heaven". -True stories and accounts of miracles attributed to the sacramentals found in this book. Other interesting subjects covered here are: -What types of punishments go on in Purgatory? -Will the souls in Purgatory that we pray for act on our behalf when we are judged? -What simple ways can we avoid going to Purgatory ourselves? -Has the Holy Grail been found? Does it contain the green emerald mentioned in Ezek: 28.13? -Interesting religious occurrences in nature that happen every year at certain times. -Will your prayer have a better chance of being answered if you promise or vow that you will do something in return if your prayer is granted? And much more. This book flows along in an easy-to-read format. It will keep you interested while covering many interesting important topics that most people, in today's Catholic world, were never taught in Church nor Sunday school catechism class. This work will inspire all who read it, encouraging and firing up one's religious fervor and increasing within them a deeper appreciation for God and His Holy Mother Church. No other Catholic book like this has ever been written.
