No other book presents Celtic spirituality in a way that is exciting and enriching for children and young people. Some fifty themed sections each provide an introduction, story, activity, meditative reflection and prayer, leading into a time of stillness and contemplation. The varied sections focus on key Bible texts, the seasons of nature, the seasons of the Christian year, putting on God's protection while getting dressed, prayers for bedtime, making a prayer corner, praying while walking, visiting a church or a holy place, looking at a Celtic cross, praying with an icon, using art and poetry in prayer, holding a peace vigil, liturgy for young people, a thanksgiving meal and a young people's eucharist. An original resource that will be widely welcomed
