An inspiring but practical resource for preparing for one's death, including moving stories, thought-provoking quotations and comforting prayers and hymns, as well as how to prepare a will and make funeral arrangements. In a world where nothing is certain except death and taxes, preparing for one's own death is something that everyone will face. Ray Simpson aims to ease the burden in this heartening book. Prayers, songs, poems, quotations and Bible readings aim to provide comfort and encouragement, and stories from the deaths of saints and ordinary people aim to inspire. A section at the end of the book contains helpful forms to fill out, such as "On My Death Bed" and "To Find When I Die". A discussion of funeral arrangements and wills bring to light often overlooked details.

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.
