Synopsis

For those living or working in the North Tyne valley, this book gives support, encouragement and hope as we read of God’s plans and purposes here.

Bob and Mary Bain along with others, spent a year on a prayer journey down the North Tyne valley in Northumberland looking at what God is doing there, and drawing on features in the landscape and the local history to bring spiritual wisdom and insights.

You may be interested in the idea of a prayer journey in your area and how that might look in practice.
Or just curious about a bigger spiritual reality out there, beyond your everyday routines.

'It has been a privilege to be part of this journey in 2025, and to belong to this area which has such a rich Christian heritage, most of which I was unaware of beforehand. This book brings it all to life in a beautiful way, reminding us that God has the people of this area close to his heart. We are farmers, shepherds, drivers, foresters, brewers, mechanics, health workers, teachers, artists, craftspeople, retired folk, babies, children with one common need- to know the love of God in our lives. This obedient mission, this pilgrimage brings us a step closer to the fulfilment of God's purpose.'
Mary Ann Rogers, Artist in West Woodburn, and resident in the area for 45 years.

'This book is a potpourri of facts, insights, prayers, and of course the central Pilgrimage. We can learn a lot from what has been shared and walked and prayed through this year. We are called to be waiting upon God, slowing down and re-imagining where God is taking us. I commend this to folk who wish to ponder and pray. This helps us to look for God where we may have not done before and to seek God where we are as we join in the pilgrimage as the Body of Christ in this beautiful area.'
Revd Canon Sarah Lunn – Area Dean, Bellingham Deanery


'Bob and Mary are wonderful leaders and praying people. Their story and reflection on praying the North Tyne valley is great reading, full of prophetic insights and treasures of how the Lord sees people and places. It is a book that inspires others on similar prayer journeys, and a reminder that it is not just the cities that are important for the kingdom, but the rural communities too. Be blessed as you read this, and may the Lord answer these prayers for many to awaken to faith and love for Jesus in this part of the north of England.'
Revd Dr William Porter - Methodist minister, prayer leader, writer and speaker

'In this unique book, Bob and Mary Bain take us on a spiritual journey through the geography and history of the North Tyne Valley, a journey
they have shared with many others over many months.

They uncover many facts, some little known, and tell many stories, from the recent and distant past, of the people and places of this beautiful and
distinctive area.

But ‘Praying Along the North Tyne’ is much more than an interesting travelogue.

Based on the conviction that the gift of prophecy is still valid and active today, the authors seek to discern the spiritual realities behind geographical artefacts and historical incidents, to reveal God's hidden
counsel behind visible states of affair.

In this way, they provide rich resources for prophetic prayer and proclamation. Their aim is to see the Kingdom of God come to and God’s will to be done in the churches and communities of this distinctive rural area.

This book is essential reading for all concerned for the spiritual wellbeing and transformation of this particular area, and who long to see the Holy Spirit move in its towns and villages.

But it also provides an exemplar, a template, a methodology, equally applicable in other rural areas, and is important reading for all concerned with ministry and mission in rural Britain.'

Dr Peter Carruthers - Executive Director. Village Hope.
