One of the enduring practices of spirtuality is that of prayer. Within the Christian practice is the traditionn of fixed-hour prayer, and within that tradition is found the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. The author of The Divine Hours, Phyllis Tickle, based this contemporary prayer manual upon the Book of Common Prayer.

When I remember to pray through this book, I am blessed and comforted, and feel like I have hit the reset button on my relationship with God.

This volume, one of three covering the calendar year, affords those of us who haven't gotten to a nunnery a structure and discipline for Scripture-based prayer. Four times a day is a big commitment.

So, this isn't the kind of book you read straight through obviously since it is a daily prayer book, but I love it. it has prayer 3 to for times a day, and revives the ancient practice of keeping the daily office. Nothing I have read or done recently has helped my prayer life more!

I love the rhythm of praying the hours, even though, as a Protestant, it's not really part of my culture. These books make it so easy! I love these books.

i used this as my devotional on the subway to and from work when i first started my new job. it was perfect for where i was at in life, in that it kept me connected with god, and helped me stay grounded as i transitioned out of ministry.

The book is part of a three book set that covers the entire calendar year as well as providing special material for Lent and Advent. Please see my review for "The Divine Hours: Prayers for Springtime" by Phyllis Tickle.

A nice way to bring an order and settledness to daily, regular prayer. Not repetitive and not Catholic theology.
Very nice find.

A good help to get in the habit of daily prayer. Sort of liturgical - each session is almost like a little mini-worship service but helpful.
