Embracing Change: Spirituality & the Lindisfarne Gspls-SALE!       

SALE book; orig. $30.00. By Ewan Clayton, with photographs of Holy Island by Robert Cooper. 2003. Ewan Clayton meditates on the creative wellsprings that motivated one of the world's greatest scribes - the Angle-Saxon monk Eadfrith who wrote and decorated the Lindisfarne Gospels 'to honor God and in memory of St. Cuthbert' - a man with a genius for healing and reconciliation. Embracing Change asks not just how and why this great medieval manuscript was made, but how such an accomplishment was humanly possible. Evocative photographs of the tiny, bare island that was home to the community which gave birth to this book will also inspire readers to explore, not just this extraordinary work of art and faith, but also their own thirst for life and creativity. Color photographs of the Lindisfarne Gospels and Robert Cooper's photographs of Holy Island complement Ewan's text. 64pp. 32 color illustrations hb.
