A long time ago on an Irish island not so far away...
Return to Luke Skywalker’s island from “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” and discover the fascinating real-life history behind Skellig Michael, an enchanting isle off the coast of Ireland where an ancient Christian monastery continues to inspire those who come there.
Learn about the Jedi-like training that occurred on this island according to the traditions of devout Catholic monks.
Immerse yourself in an age when warrior monks were on the front line of a spiritual battle against the dark forces of this world.
Monks meet Jedi in an engaging read that invites the reader to discover the surprising parallels between fact and fiction and what these heroic men can still teach us over a thousand years later.
74 pages
"Philip Kosloski's The Last Monks of Skellig Michael illustrates the unique place this remote location has played not only in Church history but also in the Star Wars universe. Kosloski takes the reader on a journey with the Irish monks who lived, worked, and prayed on this topographically challenged island providing its past and present history. This book is not simply a telling of the heroic monks and their monastery in this "desert" island off the coast of the Emerald Isle, Kosloski also provides spiritual resources for the reader's use in order to deepen one's faith in imitation of the last monks of Skellig Michael."
-- Steve Weidenkopf, author of Timeless: A History of the Catholic Church and Epic Study Series by Ascension Press
*Revised and updated, along with an appendix of ancient Irish prayers.
Not enough information. I liked what I read but felt there must be more.

Holy place at the end of the world
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I am familiar with the story of Skellig Michael. New insights opened up. The connection with Star Wars-who knew?

Great Gift!
My nephew is an avid reader and enjoys fantasy stories. This book was great gift for tying in the fantasy story he saw on the big screen with the real lives of some early Church heroes! Learning how the way of life of early Christian can be seen as transcendent helps make the impact of our faith more tangible. Great job, Voyage!

Really interesting, and a quick read
I loved this book -- I was able to read through it easily in a day or so, and it does a great job of balancing facts about Skellig Michael with some fun info about how it ties in with Star Wars. It's very readable, and I'm already lending it out to family friends :)

My 9 year old son loves it
Purchased for my 9 year old as a First Communion gift. He loves comic books and Star Wars so this was a great match! He wanted to read it as soon as he opened it. Not a difficult read He only asked me a handful of questions. Love it.
