Discover an ancient way of prayer that leads us to new union with God."Long ago," Calvin Miller writes, "when the Celts built their own rustic kingdom of God in what would later be the British Isles, their fervor in prayer washed their world in a vital revival." In uncertain and dangerous days of high infant-mortality rates, leprosy and plagues, the Celts breathed candid prayers out of the reality of their lives: Desperate prayers for protection. Praise for the God who was king over all creation. Honest prayers of confession. In these pages, Miller introduces us to six types of Celtic prayer that can connect us to God more deeply by helping us pray out of the circumstances and uncertainties of our own life."This book proposes a kind of prayer that can end our amputated feelings of separateness from God," says Miller. What was true for the Celts is still true for us: "Hunger for Christ keeps us talking to God till our separation is swallowed up in our unending togetherness with him." As rich as the faith they describe, these pages lead us on an ancient path that gives guidance for present and future prayers, until the day the Celts longed for, when all separation is gone and we live forever in the presence of God.… (meer)

Calvin Miller takes his study of Celtic Christianity and presents 6 different models of prayer: Confessional, Lorica (meaning breastplate, or prayers for protection), Nature, Long Wandering, Scripture, and Trinity.
Some chapters resonated more than others, but I liked the structure of each: explanation, history, quotes, and template.
His Celtic Devotions was more inspirational to me personally, but this book has a lot of food for thought. ( )

Most excellent!! This is a wonderful read if you are interested in Celtic spirituality or simply interested in a deeper prayer life. Perhaps my bias (being of Scots-Irish descent) has given me a fondness for Celtic spirituality and religious practice, but nevertheless as a person of faith and as a seeker after deeper understandings of God, there is much to digest here. "'The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof' (Psalm 24:1, KJV). And we have been given a mandate to care for God's property (Genesis 2:15). If we allow our environment to deteriorate, not only will we have disobeyed God but humans will have no place to live and worship. ...Never did the sun rise but what the Celts saw the triune God in the light." Miller explores Celtic prayer in nature, in journey and in pilgrimage, as lectio divina, and more. If you have a desire for a deeper prayer life, or if you enjoy Celtic spirituality, Miller's exploration of Celtic culture, poetry, and religion will move you to the means for a deeper encounter with God.

In this thin book, Miller describes 5 specific types of Celtic prayer, and encourages us to make these ancient practices part of our regular prayer routine.

Miller cites numerous examples of these types of prayer, both in our Celtic heritage and other parts of our Christian past. Examples of the five types of prayer -- trinity prayer, scripture prayer, long wandering prayer, nature prayer, lorica prayer, and confessional prayer -- are described and explained, and each chapter gives the reader the chance to compose their own prayers along the lines of those described.

The book is custom-made for someone like me, interested both in the ancient-future movement and Celtic Christianity. This is an excellent volums for anyone else interested in this subject matter. ( )
