Though the dawn breaks cheerless on this Isle today,
My spirit walks upon a path of light.
For I know my greatness,
Thou hast built me a throne within Thy heart.
I dwell safely within the circle of Thy care.
I cannot for a moment fall out of the everlasting arms.
I am on my way to glory.
Alistair Maclean (from p.115)

During his long and influential ministry, David Adam has found inspiration in prayers written by the Celtic peoples of Britain and Ireland.

This lovely volume contains a series of meditations on forty prayers, whose rhythm and earthiness offer a more natural way of conversing with God. For if we are to know God, we must spend time with him, sharing our concerns – as the Celtic peoples did so simply and naturally. And as we learn to rest in the presence of the One who is ever with us, so we will be drawn increasingly into the mystery and wonder of his love.
