Why "St. Cuthbert's Island"?

Saint Cuthbert was a Celtic monk who lived in the 7th century.
He received visitors at his monastery in Northumbria and was even appointed a bishop, but he yearned for the life of an ascetic. While living at the monastery on the island of Lindisfarne, he sought to spend time with the Lord whenever possible. Early on, he practiced solitude on a small island that was linked to Lindisfarne by a land bridge when the tide was low. This tiny island, known as Saint Cuthbert’s Island, was a training ground of sorts—a place to grow in faith and in love for God.

I chose to name my blog after this island for two reasons:
1) I hope that it will be a place where I can spend time alone with God, growing in my love for Him.
2) Perhaps, when the tide is low, others may find their way to this tiny island
and, by God’s grace, be blessed by what they find there.

Free Book from christianaudio.com

http://www.christianaudio.com/ is once again offering a free download. In addition to their free monthly offering (Paradise Lost in January), they are currently offering The Imitation of Christ.

If you want to download this classic, the code to enter at checkout is: FREEIMITATION


I hope you download and enjoy it! (If anyone has questions about this process, please ask.)

A modern day Imitation of Christ that Renovare is promoting as their "Book of the Year" is Deep-Rooted in Christ: The Way of Transformation, a book that has risen to the top of my Amazon wish list. Though I haven't read it, I'm absolutely sure this will be a wonderful book. If anyone has read it, I'd love to hear more.

The free offer of Imitation of Christ is meant for individuals on the Renovare Ministry mailing list. While I'm not sure they would mind you blogging about this offer, I think it would be good for you to encourage your readers to sign up for the Renovare newsletter mailing at www.renovare.org Renovare is a wonderful ministry, and we at ChristianAudio certainly want to encourage others to participate in their community.

Blessings, Dave
