About the Author
Fr Gabriel Cooper Rochelle, MA, MDiv, ThM, PhD, is an Orthodox priest. A cleric for over 50 years, he enjoys birding, baking bread, bicycling, and calligraphy in his spare time. Giving readers the benefit of his half-century in ministry, he writes on many subjects. Fr Gabriel is deeply interested in Celtic Christian spirituality and has written extensively in that area. His MA in Celtic Studies from University of Wales Trinity Saint David focused on the Welsh tradition, but he also explores other areas, especially the richness of the Irish traditions. His interest spills over beyond Christianity into areas of mythology and folklore, causing him to feel as at home with the Mabinogion, the treasury of Welsh folklore, and Arthurian traditions as he is with St Melangell, St David, and St Patrick. Fr Gabriel and his wife live in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

For years I've listened to Father Gabriel's many podcasts, in particular his Celtic Christian studies because I wanted to know about my Celtic history and how Christianity came to us. For a long time I had trouble seeing saints as real people, my former faith education didn't really delve into the saints, they were more like folklore or legend, more of the past than history. Father Gabriel brings these people to life, they are familiar. The saints literally lived, their lives were current and relevant for them as ours is in this day. He has paralleled their lives along with ours, as living people and people of faith, our ancestors.This book is not just a meditation but it is history and devotion. I've only had it a couple of months but want to read it again now.
This is one of those spiritual books that the reader finds themselves actually meditating while reading. The prose is clear and sincere, and the nine saints are made both new and familiar without falling prey to the usual drawbacks of hagiography (i.e. that the saint in question seems more like a fairy tale than a living, breathing, human being). The author makes Celtic Christianity accessible to people of many different faith traditions, which is no small feat in this day and age of divisiveness.I look forward to dipping into this book for refreshment over the years to come, and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a small, peaceful shelter.
Excellent read!Even as a "non-believer" I was awestruck. Fr. Rochelle identifies key principles and practices often associated with the individual Celtic saints... and springboards from there into fascinating and thought-provoking observations that are both historically objective and informative, and deeply, courageously personal. So well written. Whether or not one identifies with Christianity, this is a page-turner for thinking readers who seek to understand the human experience. I wholeheartedly recommended reading his insightful work!R. Harris
This book, written by a Christian Orthodox Priest, will appeal to all readers, regardless of personal beliefs. Father Gabriel is an engaging and talented storyteller. While telling the stories of nine Celtic saints, this book offers a way of life that is open, inclusive, and caring. Through history, philosophy, religion, and personal anecdote, Father Gabriel has produced a book worthy of any reader's consideration.
This book is beautifully written, clearly, simply, as its author obviously intended. It consists of meditations on “The Way†with its selection of nine Celtic saints — four men, five women — and it proceeds with discussion of the central issue or component of the chosen saint’s life (simplicity on the Case of St Ita — or Deirde - silence in the case of St Cuthbert and so on), wrapped in discussion or meditation around these saintly issues, as applicable in our own daily lives.It would be heavier going, if it were not for the clarity of the writing — there are very few sentences in this book over four lines, and they alternate with one-line or half-a-line transitions or summaries. The vocabulary is less Latinate than Germanic, closer to our daily speech than to the elevated diction which we often expect — and do — find in academic or liturgical discussion.It is, of course, a highly individual choice of saints. How could it be otherwise, in a book of only 207 pages, which includes not only the discussions of the saintly lives chosen, but also an excellent bibliography of suggested or recommended readings and a brief, compact “Sources and Notes.†(Interesting sequence — the sources and notes follow the recommended readings, rather than otherwise., as might be expected.One does, of course, miss one’s own favorites — in my case, St Mungo (or Kentigern), patron saint of my hometown, Glasgow (Scotland). But there is a very nice tip of the hat to Bill Cohea, one is glad to see, who has set up a beautiful stone circle, Columcille, just south of Stroudsburg, PA, a tiny Stonehenge with a small chapel in the woods nearby.Anyone seeking simplicity, quiet, peace — cardinal virtues in Dr Rochelle’s reading of Celtic Christianity — could do a lot worse than begin here. It may take you longer than you expected, despite the afore-noted clarity of the writing; you are liable to find yourself as I did, pausing at a given point, a selected aphorism, and stopping your reading to think into the distance. But you are not in any hurry, are you? Good. This book is now available in your very better bookstores and on Amazon.com. If you buy it, you will be more than rewarded. Five stars, definitely.
A friend recently pressed A Staff to the Pilgrim into my hands, and I was wowed. It's truly excellent, from so many directions--as an introduction to Celtic saints, an introduction to Orthodoxy Christianity, an introduction to Christianity in general, even an introduction to religious experience; and it also manages to be insightful and inspiring to someone already deeply immersed in Christian life. Fr. Gabriel has captured, with love and care, many aspects of what I believe the Orthodox Church has to offer the world, that the contemporary world has forgotten. And he offers his own insights on these matters in a humble and loving way. The rest of my family enjoyed this book, too--I have two daughters that love rabbits, and now they pray for Saint Melangell's intercession for the local cottontail population. This is a very fine book.
This is one of those books that hits you hard, yet done in a subtle way. On the surface, it would appear to be a biography of the Celtic saints, which it is, but, after each saint's biography, Rochelle adds his own commentary to that saint's virtue. That's when things get deep.Rochelle's views are elegant in their straightforward presentation yet he has many layers to each thought. He pulls not only from his own specific walk of faith, but also from philosophers, friends, personal experience, and an overall rounded perspective on life and faith.
