Product Description
Product Description
The Celtic hymn, 'Be thou my vision' keeps its popularity after twelve centuries because of its vivid response to our deep human need for God. Following the great success of his earlier books, David Adam takes us through this well-loved hymn, discovering the spiritual riches that are hidden in all our lives. The Celtic tradition often speaks more directly to us than foreign spirituality: The Eye of the Eagle explores the inner resources which are our native heritage. It includes exercises so that we can experience for ourselves the many aspects of vision, which is such a vital part of every Christian life.

Great Book on Celtic Spirituality
31 May 2001
Format:Paperback
David Adam writes on Celtic spirituality from a biblical point of view, inspired on the old hymn "Be Thou My Vision", based on the Celtic Christian tradition. Every chapter begins with one line or phrase from this hymn, which Adam uses to develop his main theme. For those interested in Celtic spirituality, the book deals with issues like our relationship with God's criation, spiritual wilderness, stillness, fellowship with God, faith and confidence, God's protection, God's love, His presence, etc, which are the favorite themes of this tradition. After each chapter there are suggested exercises to help the reader experience the subject of that chapter. The author's purpose is to stimulate the reader to worship God. Among these exercises there are many prayers that Adam himself has written or colected from others and "tried and tested with small groups from his own parish and on retreats". David Adam is an authority on Celtic Christianity, and has written at least seven other books on this issue. He used to work as a miner and for over twenty years he was the Vicar of Danby in North Yorkshire. For the fans of the Irish band Iona, it might be intesting to know that their album "Jorney into the Mourn" was inspired by this pleasent and deep book.
Eye of the Eagle Review
7 Nov 2011
Format:Paperback
Excellent set of meditations on the well known hymn Be Thou My Vision, worth careful consideration. The exercises at the end of each chapter have greatly challenged and encouraged me in my own spiritual journey.
