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.
With this volume, the series culminates with three Prayer manuals encompassing the liturgical and calendar year with the offices for every day..
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 two volumes the completion they are seeking.
Compact, it is perfect for those seeking greater spiritual depth.
The third and final book in the set, Prayers for Springtime, provides prayers, psalms, and readings for this season associated with rebirth.
The trilogy blends Prayer and praise in a way that, while extraordinarily fresh, respects and builds upon the ancient wisdom of Christianity.
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.
This beautifully conceived and thoroughly modern three-volume guide will appeal to the theological novice as well as to the ecclesiastical sophisticate.
The Divine Hours is the first major literary and liturgical reworking of the sixth-century Benedictine Rule of fixed-hour prayer.
