Book Reviews of Sounds of the Eternal
Book Review: Listening with the Heart
Summary: 5 Stars
J. Philip Newell is a well-respected sage of Celtic Christianity, which has enjoyed a deserved revival in the past two decades because of the beauty of its language and its vivid imagery.
In "Sounds of the Eternal: A Celtic Psalter," Newell has drawn inspiration from the oldest hymnbook of the Judeo-Christian tradition, the Psalms, and combined them with images and rhythms of Celtic spirituality. The resulting prayerbook can bring refreshing streams to any soul traversing a spiritual desert.
This reviewer found the book to be best used when its prayers are prayed aloud in solitude, to give the magnificent language an opportunity to be heard by heart as well as mind. Added to the language are rich illustrations, which combine the Psalms' Hebrew history with the vivid jewel tones of Celtic art, creating designs that serve a nearly-iconic purpose for meditation.
Newell's book is a worthy addition to anyone's library of spiritual resources
Summary of Sounds of the Eternal
In his most recent book, "Echo of the Soul", popular author Philip Newell explored what it meant to be made in the image of God. The Hebrew scriptures and Celtic Christianity alike rejoiced that our physical selves bear the marks of the Creator whereas the Western church has tended to define humanness by its tendency to sin. This beautiful book, illustrated with Jewish manuscript throughout helps us to reclaim a lost heritage and teaches us to recognize the widsom, strength, love and presence of God through each other.Prayerbooks
