In 1995 Mary Earle was hospitalized with acute pancreatitis. When she was able to return home, she still faced a long recovery. She had to stay in bed most of the time, and eating was difficult some days. The busy life she had always known was gone, and she had to begin again. Like others who suffer from serious or chronic conditions, Mary Earle found that living with illness can require major adjustments in life. Using St. Benedict's ancient Rule--his way of ordering the life and days of religious communities--Beginning Again teaches readers how to discern a rule of life that helps them with changes in resting and activity levels, with food restrictions, and requirements for medicine or medical treatment. The ancient Benedictine concepts of stability, obedience, and conversion can help anyone living with illness, even those who are dying. Beginning Again is a practical resource, written for those who know little about St. Benedict and his Rule of Life, with exercises to help readers discover how to live with God at the center of their lives and illnesses. It is useful for those living with illness, and for clergy, counselors, and spiritual directors who care for them.

Now Out-of-Print, this book presents Celtic spirituality as practical, down-to-earth and thoroughly sacramental.

Celtic spirituality, with its rich history, sense of wonder, reverence for nature, and colorful personalities, has an enduring appeal for Christians and others in the world today. The Celtic prayer tradition is practical and down-to-earth, and at the same time thoroughly sacramental. It is a way of prayer that remains living and vital for the new millennium.


Praying with the Celtic Saints introduces fifteen unique companions for the journey -- male and female, heroic and holy, gentle and visionary -- who accompany us into a tradition that is deeply grounded in the Trinity and the Incarnation. This centuries-old tradition remains ever fresh and instrumental in bringing forth Christ's own newness.
