In Search Of Sacred Places A Journey To Celtic Islands Of Holiness

In Search of Sacred Places includes all of the following: spiritual quest, travel, memoir, history, theological reflection, cultural analysis, and personal introspection -- all conveyed in an engaging, probing, and honest voice. It is a spiritual travel memoir with a palatable dose of Christian history, interlacing an account of a trip to three small islands (off Ireland, Scotland, and northern England) with the history of Celtic Christianity in those places, all in service of an ongoing meditation about the human yearning for meaning. Not an academic or devotional book, it seeks that particular kind of knowledge we call wisdom--practical knowledge about how to live rightly and well -- and finds it among the men and women who lived long ago in these remote places. This is the story of a reluctant pilgrimage, taken by a man with modern questions and suspicions about sacred places, who nonetheless returns from these tiny islands with a better understanding of how to live in today's confused, materialistic, care-worn world.Taylor, Daniel is the author of 'In Search Of Sacred Places A Journey To Celtic Islands Of Holiness', published 2005 under ISBN 9780970651112 and ISBN 0970651112.
