This is an interesting book that I really haven't had time for. One meditation touched me a while ago so I think I will take another look. A friend of mine who lives in a religious community that has similarities to this one might be interested so I intend to pass it along.
From Amazon:
The Holy Island of Lindisfarne is often called "the holiest place in England" because of all the saints who have lived there. St. Aidan and St. Cuthbert, two popular Celtic saints, are buried there. For more than 1,300 years pilgrims have made their way to this island, which now hosts half a million visitors a year. A Holy Island Prayer Book, with prayers for morning, midday, and night, follows the rhythms and seasons of the natural and Christian year as observed on Holy Island.
More contemplative than the earthy spirituality of communities such as Iona, each day of the week has a special theme:
Sunday: Resurrection and renewal
Monday: Creation
Tuesday: incarnation and peace
Wednesday: The Holy Spirit in mission and healing
Thursday: Community and unity
Friday: With broken people at the Cross
Saturday: Leisure (morning) and the Saints (night)
A Holy Island Prayer Book includes prayers by popular author David Adam, and is the perfect companion for anyone who has visited Holy Island, or those who are there in spirit.

I enjoyed this, going through the different meanings of the days of the week as outlined here. Ultimately, it does not fit as a part of my prayer routine but I am grateful for the time spent with it.
Reflecting on the day of resurrection, I have decided to send this book on a long journey. I hope my friend readinghelps and his community will enjoy it.
