St. Patrick’s Testimony A6 Hardcover Book

1. St. Patrick’s Testimony Book
   We believe that for Revival to come in Ireland it is key that bridges are built between what
   the Holy Spirit is doing in the historic churches and what the Holy Spirit is doing in the
   Pentecostal/newer Churches.

Together ECI and Wild Goose Publishing have published a revised version of St. Patrick’s
Confession. We have called it the St. Patrick’s Testimony Book. In
researching for this we discovered that Patrick quoted all or part of 70 different Scripture
verses/passages in his relatively short Confession which is actually his Testimony. Praise
God. He had a high regard for Scripture which underlay everything he did.

Our Prayer is that this initiative will contribute to redeeming Irish Celtic Christianity,
inspire us to give a priority to evangelism and foster Christian unity as Jesus prayed for
in John 17. It is wonderful that St. Patrick, being pre Reformation, is potentially a
wonderful uniting figure in Christianity in Ireland.

  Rev. Trevor Stevenson, COI Rector Crinken, Co. Dublin

• “I like the overall format – it is user friendly and ‘fit’ for the 21st century. I like the way you have broken up the text into sections which are readable in bitesize chunks.  I love the ‘Breastplate’ on one side. one could very well put the ‘Breastplate’ on its own and even frame it for the wall of a bedroom etc.” Fr. John Murray PP Downpatrick, Co. Down

• A relevant and much needed depiction of Patrick for today, St. Patrick’s Testimony is a beautifully attractive pamphlet that presents Patrick as a continuous seeker of God whose honesty and struggle is timeless. Far more than a history or chronicle, it is a springboard and path to know and follow Jesus today”
  Fr. John Nally, PP Ashbourne, Co. Meath

• “I love it. I am very happy to endorse it as an excellent summary of Patrick’s creed and of what Ireland’s first Christians were taught. It was this worldview that made possible the vocation to become a land of saints and scholars.’” Rev. Dr. William Olhausen, COI, Rector, Killiney Co. Dublin

 

• Thank God history has preserved an accurate record of Patrick’s Testimony.  An example of what God can do with one sold out for Him.
