Columba by Kenneth Steven
Kenneth Steven takes us on Columba’s difficult journey from Ireland to the west coast of Scotland. He takes us on many other journeys too – both real and imagined, ancient and modern. Columba’s journey becomes a metaphor for embarking on journeys of many sorts and from many kinds of shores. Simple, Powerful, Spiritual.
