GOOD NEWS
Fame may outlast a person's life;
A person's good work may be remembered
long after his body has rotted.
Verses from a poet's pen
may outlast the name of the poet, as the poems are sung and repeated.
Lasting longer than fame or verses is the book that speaks with undying tongue.
Good news of Christ lasts for ever. ( p.g 41)

A short but wonderful little collection of Celtic poems, some of which may find their way into a sermon or liturgy. my only complaint, is that while there is a bibliography, van de Weyer doesn't share where he found each poem.

I loved this so much. I cried, even. It's just so pure and wholesome and simple and evocative. And I get to read it!!!!!! I feel so honored.

This little book was a joyful look at ancient Celtic Spirituality in beautiful poetry and lyricism. A wonderful read with gorgeous illustrations. Warmed my heart.

This brief and beautiful collection contains lyrics that are as soothing as they are perplexing.

From the messages and angelic, Biblical images, to the impressions you take away with you: turning these pages is beautiful, enriching! Motivational and refreshingly bold, these varied observations more solidly address the crux of life than many expressions of religious doctrine. The vivid paintings accompanying all of the verses are exquisite; as thought-invoking as the words. I'm very glad I found this warm, bright booklet humbly-priced in a used store. I was meant to have it.
