Prayer at Day's Dawning by Jim Cotter
Many people find the spiritual landscape strange, and pointers on the way can be very helpful. Waymarks provides a way into quiet reflection that can be used independently or alongside Prayer at Night's Approaching and Prayer at Day's Dawning. Waymarks will appeal to many readers, both those familiar with Jim Cotter's style, with its sharp imagery and inclusive language, and those newly seeking some honest and questioning markers. This new book is the culmination of the author's praying experience over forty years. Jim Cotter has been collecting and shaping these 'cairns' and brings them to us as a thought for each day of the year. Many people find the spiritual landscape strange, and pointers on the way can be very helpful. Waymarks provides a way into quiet reflection that can be used independently or alongside Prayer at Night's Approaching and Prayer at Day's Dawning. Waymarks will appeal to many readers, both those familiar with Jim Cotter's style, with its sharp imagery and inclusive language, and those newly seeking some honest and questioning markers. The Foreword is written by Stephen Lowe, Bishop of Hulme, who has used Jim Cotter's prayers and psalms over many years in his ministry. He says, "Waymarks connects for me with the bustle and rhythms of Manchester and with the beauty and solitude of North Wales. [The cairns] help to guide me through the fog in the city and on the mountain tops." These thoughts suggest to the reader something of the author's journey, but they will also be recognised by anyone who seeks to find the way through the human mist. The collection will no doubt be scribbled against, added to, shaped and formed by those who use it.
Jim Cotter has written books that unfold the prayers of the Christian tradition, though often on the boundaries of the Church. His writings seek to shape prayers and psalms afresh, and make connections between faith and everyday life, exploring issues of sexuality, healing and ministry.
