About the Author:

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.

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
