“Every Earthly Blessing . . . was among the books that first inspired my own interest in the Celtic Christian tradition. . . . The great merit of Esther de Waal continues to be her ability to avoid naïve romanticism and to combine scholarship and personal devotion in a way that speaks eloquently to contemporary readers.” —Philip Sheldrak, author of Living Between Worlds: Place and Journey in Celtic Spirituality
 
“Every Earthly Blessing invites us to experience the depth and beauty of Celtic spirituality. Esther de Waal . . . demonstrates in an easy, readable style the intimate weaving of Celtic thought with early Christian beliefs that have thrived through the centuries. . . . This book, reprinted with a new preface, is an excellent addition to your personal collection of works on spirituality, and is also a wonderful resource to prayer circles. The depth of the faith and thought of Every Earthly Blessing inspires.” —Spiritual Book News
 
“Hundreds of books on Celtic spirituality have been published since 1991 when Every Earthly Blessing was first made available, but none has surpassed it. Esther de Waal writes with perceptive insight about the beauty and richness of the Celtic Christian world, especially its poetic tradition, but without romanticizing it. Every Earthly Blessing remains one of the best books in its field.” —Cintra Pemberton, OSH, author of Soulfaring: Celtic Pilgrimage Then and Now
 
“Every Earthly Blessing is an enlightening book, reassuring in this unsettling world in which we ‘live and move and have our being.’ It is to me spellbinding. It is infinitely rereadable.” —Barbara Gent, National Altar Guild Association
