Columba's Travels: The Seven Sands of Iona

A novel for young people. Pilgrim, penitent, and skilled in politics, Columba organises his fellow monks on Iona into a missionary force to bring the gospel to Dalriada and Alba - what we now call Scotland. Columba's Travels recounts the monks' journeys to Mull, the Isle of Mists, and even the pagan king's fortress near Inverness. Often facing danger, they witness to people in thrall to druids and warlords. Flawed but fearless, Columba leads by example, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to the core of the gospel: "If ye live the Word, then Christ will happen!"
