Description:
Christianity reached the Celtic lands after The Acts of the Apostles had been written. The stories in this book could be entitled The Acts of the Apostles Volume Two. Saints of the Isles chronicles the lives of some of those early Celtic Christians in a calendar of saints, a daily introduction to each saint, a short prayer and appropriate Bible readings.
Each entry, only a page long, glows with a jewel-like intensity. At first it is the sparkling newness of the names - such as Billfrith, Machalus, Aedh MacBric, Ceowulf, Branwalader and Eithne - that catches the eye, but then the specific quality of each saint shines through; finally the prayer and the Bible readings amplify their life and draw the reader into the bright Celtic world of the first millennium.
