To the Glory of God and Cuthbert
Landscapes of Light - David Adam
Landscapes of Light
An Illustrated Anthology of Prayer
with photographs by
Robert Cooper

David Adam is one of the most prolific and best-loved writers in the Celtic tradition. The Holy Island of Lindisfarne where he lives and ministers, home to the Celtic saints Aidan, Cuthbert and Chad, receives several hundred of thousands of pilgrims and visitors each year.

This imaginatively designed anthology combines some of David's most popular prayers with stunning photographs of Holy Island by Robert Cooper. Here you will find wind-swept landscapes and more intricate images that reveal beauty in unexpected places. Each photograph relates closely to the meaning and mood of the accompanying prayer. Though firmly rooted in daily living, 'Landscapes of Light' aims to help us perceive the glory of God that is always around us - both in times of struggle and times of joy.

David Adam, Vicar of Holy Island, is the author of many best-selling books. Robert Cooper, Priest-in-charge of Sadberge in County Durham, works for the Chaplaincy to the Arts and Recreation, building bridges between the Church and the arts community.
