<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In The Ancient Way, River Jordan explores doorways to thin places made accessible through the Celtic spiritual tradition. With her warm and personal approach, she explores a set of practices that help form a path for a deeper spiritual awakening. Readers will be moved to renew their faith by incorporating the basic components that make Celtic Christianity something authentic and pertinent to modern life and an over-busy culture. At the close of Jordan's previous book, Confessions of a Christian Mystic, she writes of the thin place she's been seeking--that mystical and divine doorway into the presence of God--as being inside of her all along. In this follow-up book, she explores ways that door can be made accessible to everyone to inform and transform readers' daily lives.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>For years, from her home on a hill outside Nashville, River Jordan felt a call to travel to the mystical Isle of Iona, off the coast of Scotland--the island that gave birth to Celtic Christianity. In <i>The Ancient Way</i> she invites us to leave the sacred space of our homes and our lives and join her on this pilgrimage.</p><p>With the help of friends and the kindness of strangers, Jordan winds her way across green mountains to late-night ferries, across islands and down one-way roads led by the light of Iona and a trust in God. Along the way she explores ancient Celtic Christian practices such as cherishing creation, trusting spiritual friendship, offering hospitality, creative imagination, and honoring community--carrying them home with her to infuse her daily life.</p><p>This is an intimate story of imagination, of personal transformation, of stillness and prayer. It's also a quirky, thoughtful guide for cultivating divine connection and creativity as we embark on our own wild adventures, chasing after the mystery that calls us all.</p>
