Since the time he penned the words, Christians have been wrestling with how to live out Paul's command to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thess 5:17). Historically there have been three major spiritual disciplines that have emerged out of the desire to keep this command: breath prayers, "practicing the presence of God", and the approach this book represents, praying the hours.
