As in his previous BRF book, Hilda of Whitby, Ray Simpson shows that such figures from past centuries can provide models for Christian life and witness today. An author and speaker on Celtic spirituality with a worldwide reputation, he combines historical fact with spiritual lessons in a highly accessible style.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295096516981,"sku":"9780857464859","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780857464859_4c6b38c4-40bd-4660-bc0b-ae9054c7ce42.jpg?v=1786015664"},{"product_id":"9781035824120","title":"A Way of Life: For the Third Millennium","description":"\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":56296066253173,"sku":"9781035824120","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":57685682028917,"sku":"9781035824137","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781035824120.jpg?v=1792598828"},{"product_id":"9781800392281","title":"Celtic Rhythms of Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the Community of Aidan and Hilda, here is a resource to create a daily rhythm of prayer, inspired by historic and contemporary Celtic Christian spirituality and earthed in the activities of everyday living. \u003cem\u003eCeltic Rhythms of Life\u003c\/em\u003e contains ready-to-use forms of prayer for morning, midday, evening and night, seven days a week.

One of the most remarkable figures of those times was Hilda of Whitby. Born and reared amid warring pagan tribes, through the influence of Celtic saints and scholars she became a dominant figure in the development of the British Church, above all at the famous Synod where Celtic and Roman Churches came together. Until recently, though, the story of this extraordinary woman has not received much attention. Published to coincide with the 1400th anniversary of her birth, this book not only explores the drama of Hilda's life and ministry but shows what spiritual lessons we can draw for Christian life and leadership today.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56307955040629,"sku":"9781841017280","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781841017280_c6916af2-4418-4115-8bad-5ce3f7a79433.jpg?v=1786034299"},{"product_id":"9781844173983","title":"Celtic Hymn Book - Full Music","description":"\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Book","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308129988981,"sku":"9781844173983","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781844173983_467c33d7-dbfb-4c62-932c-b0cfa189a69f.jpg?v=1786027953"},{"product_id":"celtic-daily-light","title":"Celtic Daily Light","description":null,"brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57490159763829,"sku":"9781844170999","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781844170999.jpg?v=1786442044"},{"product_id":"monk-in-the-market-place","title":"Monk in the Market Place","description":"Monk in the Market Place … and the Simpsons is a memoir like no other.
