Announcing the new American edition of John Philip Newell's adored and transformative prayerbook, Sounds of the Eternal: A Celtic Psalter with four never before published prayers! Also, featuring the contemporary, subtle, and calming illustrations by the artist, Tobi Kahn.
The artwork is a perfect compliment to each morning and night prayer and certainly a beautiful way to experience the words in a fresh and illuminating way.
Is there something more important to do than pray for peace, and in particular to pray for peace within the family of Abraham and Sarah and Hagar? The shadow side of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam is at the heart of some of the most conflicted places of hatred and violence in our world today. Without peace in the family of Abraham there will not be peace among us as nations.
Praying with the Earth is an urgent peace-offering from within the Christian household. Every morning and evening in this prayer book sentences from the Quran, the Hebrew Scriptures, and the teachings of Jesus are used in order to pray for peace and to strengthen our commitment as peacemakers.
As never before in the history of humanity, we are becoming aware of the interrelatedness of life. The question is whether we will translate this emerging consciousness into transformative action so that we and the world may be well.
