'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 found in David Adam's many previous books, and can be used as a complement to the readings and collects for Year B of the Revised Common Lectionary.

This book accompanies Clouds and Glory (Year A) and Glimpses of Glory (Year C). Such is the quality of these prayers that they will be as helpful for those who do not use a regular lectionary as for 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.'
