‘For the prayers of the church to be enriched, it demands a praying people’, writes David Adam. And in this book he offers intercessions, blessings and forms for the peace covering each Sunday and major festival of the Church’s year, so that worshippers can prepare for each service.

The prayers employ the Celtic style which readers have found so helpful in David Adam’s many previous books, and can be used as a complement to the readings and collects. This book follows the well received Clouds and Glory, and works with Year B of the Revised Common Lectionary. Such is the quality of these prayers that they will be as helpful for those who do not use a regular lectionary as those who do.

‘We need to see traces of glory in our everyday lives’, writes the author, ‘and this is very possible if we are willing to spend time with God’.
