It ends with a vision of how we can recover our harmony with the rest of creation: with the landscape, the weather and the wildlife, and ultimately with the body itself. Follow the footsteps of holy men and women such as Columba, Patrick, Cuthbert, Gildas, Aidan, Bede, Ninian, Etheldreda, Samson and others into enchanting Celtic landscapes, and learn the unvarnished truth behind the stories that shape our spiritual and natural heritage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nick Mayhew-Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0281081549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780281081547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e SPCK Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Nick Mayhew-Smith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46372532650239,"sku":"9780281081547","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4c855c02-a5cd-4cef-8e62-7bb4638f5daf.jpg?v=1732726213","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-naked-hermit-nick-mayhew-smith-9780281081547","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
