About this title

Review:

"The Rhythm of Life: Celtic Daily Prayer is a much valued addition to any Christian prayer studies collection." -- The Midwest Book Review

"An absolute treasure! Prayers are arranged for four offices each day--morning, midday, evening, night. A main theme for each day is expressed in the appointed Scripture and prayers. This small book is an excellent help to establishing a pattern and practice of daily prayer--a rhythm for life! Black and white Celtic illustrations enhance the beauty of the text." -- Community of the Ascension Newsletter

"David Adam offers four daily offices, for morning, noon, evening and night, with suggestions for use. Building on the themes of resurrection, creation, incarnation, Holy Spirit, community, the Cross, and the saints, Adam shares his ideas and prayers in the Celtic tradition, as he calls the reader to the rhythm of life ordered by the tides, the seasons, and the daily ringing of the church bell for prayer." -- The Pennsylvania Episcopalian

"The rhythms of life are intertwined with the rhythms of prayer in this lovely collection of prayers for each day of the week." -- Religious Resources International

"This unique book should make us all more aware of the rhythms in our own prayer lives and lead us to a deeper appreciation of the joys of the liturgical year and what we celebrate in worship." -- Modern Liturgy
