Synopsis

The Cry of the Deer takes us deeper into the prayer experience through a series of meditations leading into practical exercises in affirming the Presence of God. These meditations are based on the eternal certainties of the Christian faith, as acclaimed in the translation of the hymn of St Patrick known as The Deers Cry. They are designed to help us to experience faith not merely as creeds but as a vital, living relationship with God which touches every aspect of our lives.

About this title

Review:

"Here is a book, illustrated in the Celtic manner, which offers extended 'meditations' on the masterful hymn we know as St. Patrick's Breastplate. The author [calls] us to awareness of basic Celtic knowledge such as being in touch with creation means being in touch with God." -- The Living Church

"Perhaps nowhere else has Adam--one of the leading exponents of the revival of Celtic Christian spirituality--expressed the heart of the experience of the Celtic Christian saints in such a moving, vital manner. Those to whom the Christian life has become a dry, rote recitation of doctrine or those who wish to learn the insights offered by the Celtic saints will find a refreshing perspective in The Cry of the Deer." --Christianity & the Arts
