Critics Review
This collection is perfect – not just for individual prayer, but also for corporate worship, study groups and retreats.All of the prayers encapsulate the traditions of contemporary Celtic spirituality which bring together the ordinary experiences of daily living and the glory of the Sacred Presence. They raise our awareness of the presence of God which surrounds us in each moment of life and so enable us to perceive the sacredness of it all. – Grace Clunie * Church of Ireland Gazette *This book is a rich seam of prayers and benedictions for all seasons and all times for all those interested in Celtic spirituality.Simply illustrated with black and white Celtic designs on many of its pages, it will also offer inspiration to those seeking assistance with the preparation of worship.The effectiveness and moving simplicity of this book is as striking today as it was to readers new to Adam’s work in the 1980s. – Anonymous * Life & Work *
