Reviews"The Divine Hoursis simply the best book for people who want to work prayer into the fabric of their daily life." -Bert Ghezzi, author ofVoices of the Saints "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, world-wide but very personal liturgy." -Nora Gallagher, Beliefnet.com and author ofThings Seen and Unseen: A Year Lived in Faith From the Trade Paperback edition.

SynopsisThe first volume in a trilogy of prayer manuals compiled byPublishers Weeklyreligion 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 theBook of Common Prayerand the writings of the Church Fathers,The Divine Hoursis 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 first book in the set,Prayers for Summertime, filled with prayers, psalms, and readings, is one readers will turn to again and again. Compact in size, it is perfect for those seeking greater spiritual depth. As a contemporaryBook of Hours,The Divine Hours: Prayers for Summertimeheralds a renewal of the tradition of disciplined daily prayer, and will whet the hunger of a large and eager audience for the follow-up autumn/winter and spring volumes. The first book in the set, PRAYERS FOR SUMMERTIME, filled with prayers, psalms, and readings, is the one readers will turn to when making their daily summertime devotions. Compact, with a ribbon marker and deluxe endpapers, it is perfect for those seeking spiritual guidance and renewal. THE DIVINE HOURS: PRAYERS FOR SUMMERTIME heralds a new form of an old tradition and whets the hunger of a large and eager audience for the follow-up winter and spring volumes. -->
