One Foot in Eden: A Celtic View of the Stages of Life

A mirror for all stages of life, wisdom that might come from a valued friend. A good 'hand hold' for those dark times, and a reminder that maintaining personal peace is the only way. A very well read man who seasons his writing with spicy quotes anywhere from one to ten! A leader who is very much one of the people.

This is such an insightful book that, after having my mother also read it, I decided to use it to facilitate a multi-generational book discussion that is being well received. We ARE blessed at every stage of life, and John Philip Newell definitely helps us feel that. This is just one of many must-read books by Newell.

This is a great book for getting your Celtic feet wet. If you are not sure about Celtic theology then this book can get you started. It introduces the reader to basic Celtic theology. That's what it did for me. This book shines a light on the stages of life. Not really stages but seasons. They aren't something really dictated by time or age, but my walk with God and where one is in relation to God. Overall, it's a good, quick, read that is also deep and insightful.
