'Newell invites us into the counterintuitive truth that much of the
wisdom we need to navigate this moment has already been spoken in
the past. I'm convinced that we've only begun to see just how far
and wide his voice is going to be heard.' Rob Bell, New York Times
Bestselling author of Love Wins 'As this book makes clear, the
Celtic spiritual tradition is a clear-flowing stream that can help
us in the hot and thirsty moment. There are deep lessons to be
learned from these remarkable women and men.' Bill McKibben, author
of Falter 'In Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul you’ll rediscover the deep
truth of the Celtic Christian tradition. Grounded in history,
replete with poetry and song, Newell's book us into deeper
awareness. There is much to savor here.' Mary C. Earle, author of
Celtic Christian Spirituality: Essential Writings 'John Philip
Newell’s writings always bring me ‘home’. In a world of increasing
isolation, he powerfully transports us back to what we have
forgotten: that all things and all beings are sacred and
interrelated. This is gritty spirituality at its best earthy,
liminal, connecting!' Roy Barsness, Seattle
School of Theology & Psychology
