THE REVD CANON DAVID ADAM is one of the best-loved figures in Celtic spirituality. The author of many successful books, he was for thirteen years Vicar of the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. He continues to lecture, speak and act as a spiritual director.
Adam is an attractive and accessible writer, his words nicely distilled, and his continual focus on the glory of God and the wonder of the world is refreshing.
Like countless others, I have enjoyed and learnt a tremendous amount about Celtic spirituality from David Adam's writings over the years. Not only does he write about spirituality, but he also crafts beautiful prayers in the Celtic tradition.
[On THE AWESOME JOURNEY] For those who are confused or battered on the journey of life, this will give some pointers and much encouragement to face the difficulties along the way.
[On ENCOMPASSING GOD] Adam's writing is simple, accessible and to the point.
[On THE WONDER OF THE BEYOND] Beautifully and engagingly written
About
Writing from lived experience as much as knowledge, David Adam conveys a delight in the mystery of being that is deeply attractive.
Love the World opens by looking at the beginning of the universe, then moves on to the earth's atmosphere, the miracle of water and things that we often take for granted but are essential for our health and happiness. It focuses on our relationship with the world and encourages us to reflect on what really matters:
In our most fragile moments we know that we are of dust and to dust we shall return, but in our depths, we know there is more. We are not created out of nothing but out of love. The very source of your being is love.
This beautifully written book aims to increase our love for the world through reflecting on what we have discovered about it, and using this as a basis for further meditation and spiritual enrichment. It opens by looking at the beginning of the universe and the mystery of being, then moves on to our world, its atmosphere, the miracle of water, and things we often take for granted but are essential to our health and happiness. Finally, it focuses on our relationship to the earth.
Each section offers a short introduction, based on scientific discovery, a meditation, and an exercise in awareness and sensitivity.
