For those unaccustomed to recited prayers, it will be new and invigorating, even if the strangeness of it may take some getting used to.

The Northumbria Community is a diverse, worldwide, Christian Community, committed to a new way for living. Sometimes I might forget about this book for a short while, but when I go back to it, it is a whole new life and a bright treasure chest all over again!Even people who hail from a different ethnic heritage will find that Celtic Daily Prayer offers community wisdom and a down to earth guide to daily prayer in the family.

Edward C Sellner has recently published a revised and expanded edition of his important work Wisdom of the Celtic Saints, which presents the stories of 27 of the most important of the Celtic saints from Ireland, Scotland, northern England, Wales, Cornwall and Brittany. They are born out of our Community’s story, have been lived and prayed throughout our journey, and enshrine our ethos. The disruption of change, the mid-life doldrums and the bitter-sweetness of old age are given voice. Celtic Daily Prayer offers such a threshold type practice for entering "thin places", where we can regularly go to be close to God. A very useful book,with two years of bible readings,prayers for different occasions,information about celtic saints and readings and meditations for each day of the month.Devices that will support the music files include: Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD, iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch devices.

The Saints range from the ancient and traditional, primarily Celtic, to 20th century figures such as Diterich Bonhoffer, Oscar Romero and Thomas Merton.This music and liturgy is recorded in normal Audio CD format and can be played on any CD player or computer. Today, the Northumbria Community remains a living expression of this monastic, contemplative stream of the faith, and the perennial need to make that faith relevant to the world.
