Now, in The Divine Hours Pocket EditionTM, Tickle has gathered one full week of fixed-hour prayers, providing an ideal companion for travelers, office-workers, people on retreat or pilgrimage, as well as newcomers to this age-old spiritual practice. As Tickle writes in her introduction, "prayer is always a place as well as an action, and the daily offices are like small chapels or wayside stations within the day's courses." Seven of these daily offices are offered for each day of the week, and each office contains the Call to Prayer, the Request for Presence, the Greeting, the Reading, the Gloria, the Psalm, the Small Verse, the Lord's Prayer, the Petition, and the Final Thanksgiving. Tickle draws her texts primarily from the Book of Common Prayer and the writings of the Church Fathers, and includes memorable devotional and meditative poems by Cleland McAfee, Charles Wesley, and others. Tickle also provides a chapter of "Traditional, Seasonal, and Occasional Prayers" in order to accommodate special dates like Advent, Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving; major life-changes such as marriage, birth, death, and illness; and moments of special petition or thanksgiving. For all those who want to carry a "small chapel" of prayers with them, The Divine Hours Pocket EditionTM offers a convenient, easy-to-use, and deeply spiritual guide to a devotional practice that extends all the way back to Christ and the twelve Apostles. 599551 15 5 2007 The Divine HoursTM, Pocket Edition total:5|5:2|4:3| 5 22 12 1 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 27 11:55:31 -0800 2007 Sat Jan 05 16:43:18 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Nov 23 09:59:38 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 23 09:59:38 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Oct 01 17:24:35 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 17:24:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jun 28 19:41:14 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 19:41:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 16 16:19:27 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 16:19:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue May 05 07:23:56 -0700 2009 Tue May 05 07:23:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 11 02:24:57 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 02:24:57 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 19 12:53:46 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 19 12:53:47 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Wed Aug 20 06:36:57 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 20 06:36:57 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 23 11:40:02 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 01 20:08:33 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Nov 03 17:48:11 -0700 2007 Sun Jan 04 15:12:56 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 30 21:19:26 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 30 21:19:26 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=613095
