Celtic Flame

by T.M. Moore

The name of St. Patrick is familiar to most people in the English-speaking world. Yet most who know his name know next to nothing about him. Legends, myths, and tall tales surround the patron saint of the Irish, but few really know him or understand the burden which guided his work as Bishop of the Irish people during the latter years of the fifth century. In Celtic Flame: The Burden of Patrick, T. M. Moore provides a look into the heart and soul of the great saint. Drawing on ancient documents, especially those from Patrick's own hand, and presenting the saint's testimony in a lively verse paraphrase, the author reveals the warmth, determination, courage, and convictions of the first of the Celtic Fathers.

Few Christians understand the spiritual impact Patrick had on Ireland, Scotland, and Western Europe which lasted 500 years. This is a good introduction to what he did and why modern Christians can learn from Patrick and those who came after him about impacting our culture for Christ.
