The Glenstal Book of Prayer Created by the Benedictine monks of Glenstal Abbey, this is a beautifully bound book that includes prayers for all occasions. Once you read it, it's easy to understand why it is a best-seller in Ireland. See Review Click here for Glenstal Book of Prayer	Sun Dancing - Life in a Medieval Irish Monastery by Geoffrey Moorhouse A fascinating, very cleverly written account that's part fiction and part fact. But don't be misled by the "fiction" part. The stories that Mr. Moorhouse tells are all based on thoroughly researched historical evidence. Bridget Haggerty "Moorhouse writes with eloquence and a quiet humor calculated to charm even the blackest of heathens." Atlantic Monthly "The chilling facts of the monks' penitent lives are real enough to send a shiver down an Irish Catholic's spine." New York Times Book Review Click here for Sun Dancing.	Celtic Prayers by Robert Van de Wyer Illustrated with designs from the Book of Kells and other Celtic and Irish designs, the prayers reflect a profound view of nature and life. I strongly recommend this to pastors or lay people with any interest in Celtic culture. Edited from an Amazon review Click here for Celtic Prayers.
Anam Cara - A Book of Celtic Wisdom "Once the soul awakens, the search begins and you can never go back." Quoted from this lyrical, literary gem written by Fr. John O'Donohue. Click here for Anam Cara	Gifts from Within: Women's Meditations for Lent Brigid's Place is a spiritual organization in Houston that focuses on the feminine side of the Divine. This Lenten Meditation book is a composite of several works that were published locally over the past few years. It gives voice to women's spirit and each day a different woman creatively gives voice to her connection to the Divine. A beautiful work.

I Saw Our Lady by Tom Neary This best-selling book covers the origins of Knock as a shrine and makes extensive use of reports from the leading newspapers of the day.

It's sold in the bookshop at Knock, but if you can't visit the shrine, we did a search and found it on amazon UK. Please note - they will ship to an overseas address. Click here for I saw Our Lady.

It includes new translations of the life of Patrick and Patrick’s own writings, as well as an extensive bibliography and resources for further reading.

The Galway Hooker

This unique vessel, with its distinctive curved lines and bright red sails, originated in the village of Claddagh. During the 19th century, hookers supported a significant fishing industry and also carried goods, livestock and fuel. Seán Rainey is remembered for building the last of the original boats, the Truelight, for Martin Oliver who was to become the last king of the Claddagh; as king, he was entitled to white sails on his boat. Since the mid seventies, many of the old sailing craft which were on the verge of extinction have been lovingly restored and new ones have been built. During the summer months they can be seen at festivals such a Cruinniú na mBád - the Gathering of the Boats - in Kinvara.
