This book enables us to view the powerhouse that lies within the person [of Ruth Etchells] . . . She has aimed to provide a resource to help others in their prayers. My prayer is that that will be the case, and that this collection of prayers will become the "personal prayers" of many' George Carey in his Foreword Just as I Am presents a pattern of daily prayer, providing simple but profound material for anyone who wants to revitalize their prayer life. Although daily personal prayer is not something which most of us find easy, dialogue with God is, as the author says, 'the very oxygen of our spiritual bloodstream' So this book is meant to help us 'be where He is likely to appear' It represents the 'fruits of many years' daily conversation with God, often wrestling, sometimes resting, occasionally glorying, almost always - eventually - thanking' There is material for the morning and evening of each day for a month, as well as for the seasons of the Christian year and for special times of joy and sorrow. While drawing on a wide range of Christian writers, almost all of the prayers were specially written for this book.

What is man? Who am I? What gives me identity? Is there an answer? These fundamental questions have occupied the attention of poets, dramatists and novelists of the last fifteen years. Some of them have expressed bitter anger at the superficial values of a hypocritical society. Some have faced despair at life's apparent meaninglessness. The result has been a determined attack through literature on the Establishment, and the rise of such movements as the Theatre of the Absurd. Other writers have tried to find constructive solutions. They have suggested that man's individual identity lies in the work he does, the values he holds, the relationships he enters into. Ruth Etchells, lecturer in English at Durham University, examines these trends in contemporary English literature, quoting frequently from writers of both verse and prose. She shows that the Christian, too, finds the clue to his identity, understands a meaning in life as a while, through a relationship. But this is not an unstable experience, at the mercy of man's changing feelings and affections: it is the sure relationship between man and God.
