They draw on Celtic Christian tradition and ancient Jewish spirituality and invite us to rediscover the mystery of God's image within.

These lovely prayers give voice to common yearnings of the human soul. John Philip's expansive poetic language opens the ancient tradition to a new generation.

"With so many similarities between Celtic and Latino spiritualities--earthy joy, solemn realism and an incarnational yearning--this careful translation of Philip Newell's Psalter is a grace-filled gift, whether your preference is English or Spanish. Es un cancion del corazon y una ofrenda a Dios."
