Описание:

Learn how the ancient Christian Celts read the Bible-and discover new ways to understand the sacred Scriptures today.

The Celts' perspectives on the Bible were far less literal than many modern viewpoints, and yet at the same time, they treasured even deeper layers of meaning than are familiar to most twenty-first century readers. For the Celts, Scripture was a wondrous treasure trove of metaphor and meaning, stories and symbols, all pointing to the loving Mystery that weaves through all Reality.

"At certain points while reading this book, I could just nod my head, seeing in print things that I have felt deeply but had never put into words. At other points I was stopped in my tracks, reading something that seemed so simple, yet so profound. There were times I had to stop and re-read the same paragraph several times, not because it was too difficult to understand, but because there was so much packed into just a few sentences."

-Steve Robinson, Wolf Mountain Books

"A very good introduction to how the Celtic followers of Jesus read and saw the Bible. I highly recommend it. Ken's writing style is really easy to follow-which is saying a lot for such a vast and complex topic."

-Jack Gillespie, Celtic priest in the Lindisfarne Community

Описание:

"Kenneth McIntosh liberates the Book of Revelation from magical thinking and apocalyptic predictions, showing us that it's a book for all ages, providing a pathway of hope and agency in times of chaos and confusion. McIntosh's vision gives authentic hope, challenges complacency, and inspires action in a time of rapid climate change, global pandemic, and social disruption. This text is a theological and spiritual goldmine for personal reflection and group study."

-Bruce Epperly, author of Become Fire Guideposts for Interspiritual Pilgrims, God Online: The Mystics' Guide to the Internet, and Faith in a Time of Pandemic

The Book of Revelation has been misunderstood as a book of future predictions and escape from the world-but it is actually a survival and transformation guide, written for people whose lives were threatened by the first-century system of domination. Kenneth McIntosh goes through the entire book, chapter by chapter, revealing Revelation's abundance of wisdom we can apply to the challenges we face in today's world.

May these visions of transformation bring renewal to your inner self, giving hope for yourself and for the world that is struggling around you.

Coloring with the Green Man

More and more people are rediscovering what they already knew when they were kids-coloring is fun. What's more, coloring can lead us into a deeper awareness of both our inner selves and the world around us.

The Green Man images in this coloring book have been paired with short quotations from two of Anamchara Books' titles: The Green Man: Ancient Symbol for the Modern World and Celtic Nature Prayers: Prayers from an Ancient Well, both by Kenneth McIntosh. These quotations are offered for use as mental focal points as you color, with space provided for you to jot down any thoughts that may rise to the surface.

As you color, you may find yourself connecting with Nature in a new way, experiencing what poet Elizabeth Browning described: "Earth is crammed with heaven and every bush aflame with God."

Описание:

I have a hidden meaning. I was portrayed in a thousand different ways in the past, and I keep sprouting again and again down through the centuries. Don't you want to know who I am?

The Green Man is an ancient symbol that has gained new popularity, and yet his origins and meaning remain a mystery. Kenneth McIntosh, author of Water from an Ancient Well: Celtic Spirituality for Modern Life, offers a seldom-heard theory on the original significance of this leafy visage. With a wealth of photographs and drawings, the author traces the Green Man's family tree, revealing the deep spirituality embedded in this archetypal image, and concludes with the hope the Green Man offers us today in the twenty-first century.
