Great old and new prayers

David Adam, Vicar of the Holy Isles, has two special ministries. As vicar, he ministers to thousands of pilgrims every year. But he is also a poet, a prayerful poet in the Celtic tradition. This collection of prayers is organized according to the order of service, from first preparation through the final blessing. It includes Adam's original prayers, as well as classic prayers, well known and unknown, from sources as diverse as the Carmina Gadelica, the Alternative Service Book of the Church of England, Evelyn Underhill, and a manual for private prayer published in 1559. For those who wish to pursue a more prayerful life, this little collection is a must, whether you follow the Celtic path or some other.
