HERBERT O’DRISCOLL was born in Ireland and immigrated to Canada and became one of the most highly regarded preachers in the Anglican Church. Much sought-after internationally as a speaker, teacher, and leader of retreats and pilgrimages, he is known as a popular broadcaster and print commentator, prolific hymn writer, and the author of numerous books on Bible interpretation and the spiritual life, many of which reflect Celtic spirituality. O’Driscoll continues to write from active retirement in British Columbia, where he lives with his wife.
“What charm, what a resolute life of love and language fills these pages! Lively storytelling is the way this writer draws us into the joyous river of hisown abundant life. Read it, and be beguiled and heartened.” —Luci Shaw, author, The Generosity and Eye of the Beholder “Journeying with this wise and astute guide, and observing how the ordinary as well as the exceptional can, with the eyes of faith, reveal ‘a divinity that shapes our ends,’ we are encouraged to read our own book of experience with renewed attention and a heightened sense of expectation.” —Frank Griswold, 25th Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church “Herbert O’Driscoll weaves us into the fabric of his long and inspiring life. Through decades of change and upheaval, he describes how his Irish roots, his family, and the Church have given him a constant sense of home. This is a memoir filled with warm and lucid recollections from a beloved priest and teacher.” —Bishop Michael Ingham, Anglican Church of Canada
