I am coming to like this book more the longer I use it. I typically like Mary Earle, though this book did not initially “wow” me. Each section offers a Celtic Saint and gives a brief history, a quote, and a few suggestions for reflection/spiritual practice. I feel sure that some of Earle and Maddox’s suggestions will find expression in our Peregrination Primer for the pilgrimage.
