"A welcome remedy for the increasing number of lay Christians who
have rediscovered the daily offices. Tickle puts each day's
prayers, psalms, readings, and refrains-everything you need-in one
place. The rhythm that Tickle's book establishes gives one a
stronger sense of participating in an ancient, worldwide but very
personal liturgy."
-Nora Gallagher, "beliefnet.com, and author of "Things Seen and
Unseen: A Year Lived in Faith
The third and final volume in a trilogy of prayer manuals compiled
by "Publishers Weekly religion editor Phyllis Tickle as a
contemporary Book of Hours to guide Christians gently yet
authoritatively through the daily offices.
"The Divine Hours is the first major literary and liturgical
reworking of the sixth-century Benedictine Rule of fixed-hour
prayer. This beautifully conceived and thoroughly modern
three-volume guide will appeal to the theological novice as well as
to the ecclesiastical sophisticate. Making primary use of the Book
of Common Prayer and the writings of the Church Fathers, "The
Divine Hours is also a companion to the New Jerusalem Bible, from
which it draws its Scripture readings. The trilogy blends prayer
and praise in a way that, while extraordinarily fresh, respects and
builds upon the ancient wisdom of Christianity.
The third and final book in the set, "Prayers for Springtime,
provides prayers, psalms, and readings for this season associated
with rebirth. Compact, with deluxe endpapers, it is perfect for
those seeking greater spiritual depth. As a contemporary Book of
Hours, "The Divine Hours: Prayers for Springtime heralds a renewal
of the tradition of disciplined daily prayer, and gives those
already using the first twovolumes the completion they are seeking.
With this volume, the series culminates with three prayer manuals
encompassing the liturgical and calendar year with the offices for
every day.
