Summary: IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE REAL HISTORY!!!!
Review: "Legend of the Celtic Stone" by Michael Phillips is probably one of the best books of Celtic legend right up there with "Mists of Avalon". Once I was done with the "parables", I wished the story did not stop, for the story of the two brothers was so amazing! I couldn't keep my hands off the book, although I was a tad bit dissapointed that the end was just like a Gilbert Morris book, coming into the "egotistical" Christian side of a person. Why can't we the descendants of Celtic ancestors relish in the old religion and go back into the dark ages? Otherwise, this is a MUST READ!!

Summary: GUSTING - OF THE SPIRIT
Review: Depth.... Power.... Character.... Hope.... To invest oneself, completely, honestly and from the foundation of individual design, selflessly. This is the wind that blows through these pages. A tremendous read. Rich in the flavor of the Creators design.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: I fond this book very intrigueing. I love books about Scottland I can't seem to find many about her past. Michael Phillips tells the stories with such grace. He makes the stories in the book seem plausible. Anyone who is a lover Scottland will enjoy this book.

Summary: legend of the celtic stone
Review: I have rarely read a book so expansive in its coverage of history and emotion. I was fascinated at the authors treatment of each people group he introduced and was left wishing the second volume had been on the bookstore shelves already! Anyone with a drop of Irish or Scottish blood in them will positively thrill to be associated with so great a legacy. While it is a fictional interpretation of history I found it definitely plausible and a great workout for the imagination. Awesome.

Summary: Take the bad with the good
Review: I was very intrigued by the author's rendition of the history of Scotland. The way that the kernels of history were expressed as portraits of its people was impressive. I would re-read the book to absorb more of the history. But I wasn't all that interested in the alternating story of Andrew. I didn't care enough about him as a character. I like the idea of contrasting the ancient with the modern, but the modern story seemed too flat to me. This was my first stab at historical fiction, and I was pleasantly surprised. If you are interested in Scottish history told with imagination, you will probably enjoy this book.
