This highly regarded trilogy has become one of America's best-loved and most frequently consulted manuals for observing this ancient form of Christian worship. Now, in The Night Offices, Tickle offers the perfect complement to The Divine HoursTM, bringing together prayers, psalms, hymn texts, religious poetry and other readings not included in the original trilogy, covering the offices for the hours from late evening (Compline) to early morning (Prime). Fans of the Divine HoursTM will recognize Tickle's simple, elegant format, her use of a modern calendar rather than a liturgical one, and the single ribbon in the binding, to track one's progress through the year. As in the trilogy, Tickle makes primary use of the Book of Common Prayer and the writings of the Church Fathers, and she draws all the scriptural readings from the Revised Standard Version. The book includes a set of Matins, Lauds, and Prime specific to each day of the week and varied only by month. Thus, the Monday reading for January would be used every Monday in January, but Monday in February would have new offices for it. The cumulative total, being 84 Matins, 84 Lauds, and 84 Prime (252 offices), fits neatly into a single, nightstand edition, a small, compact book that can be comfortably held in the hand. Easy to use, poetically rich, with a superb sampling of devotional works, The Night Offices will be welcomed by a broad readership, Christian and non-Christian alike. 599556 13 11 2006 The Night Offices: Prayers for the Hours from Sunset to Sunrise total:8|5:5|4:3| 8 37 10 0 613100 0195306716 9780195306712 8 0 4.62 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176323511m/613100.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/613100.The_Night_Offices_Prayers_for_the_Hours_from_Sunset_to_Sunrise 5 0 false Thu Oct 01 17:24:29 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 17:24:29 -0700 2009 613100 0195306716 9780195306712 8 0 4.62 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176323511m/613100.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/613100.The_Night_Offices_Prayers_for_the_Hours_from_Sunset_to_Sunrise 0 0 false Mon Jun 22 17:19:15 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 22 17:19:15 -0700 2009 613100 0195306716 9780195306712 8 0 4.62 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176323511m/613100.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/613100.The_Night_Offices_Prayers_for_the_Hours_from_Sunset_to_Sunrise 0 0 false Tue Jun 16 16:19:14 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 16:19:18 -0700 2009 613100 0195306716 9780195306712 8 0 4.62 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176323511m/613100.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/613100.The_Night_Offices_Prayers_for_the_Hours_from_Sunset_to_Sunrise 4 0 false Fri May 01 08:57:59 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 18 08:27:14 -0700 2009 Fri May 01 08:57:59 -0700 2009 613100 0195306716 9780195306712 8 0 4.62 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176323511m/613100.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/613100.The_Night_Offices_Prayers_for_the_Hours_from_Sunset_to_Sunrise 5 0 false Fri Jun 27 09:09:32 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 27 09:09:32 -0700 2008 613100 0195306716 9780195306712 8 0 4.62 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176323511m/613100.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/613100.The_Night_Offices_Prayers_for_the_Hours_from_Sunset_to_Sunrise 4 0 false Thu Feb 14 16:39:24 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 14 16:39:24 -0800 2008 613100 0195306716 9780195306712 8 0 4.62 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176323511m/613100.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/613100.The_Night_Offices_Prayers_for_the_Hours_from_Sunset_to_Sunrise 4 0 false Sat Dec 22 10:48:45 -0800 2007 Sat Dec 22 10:48:48 -0800 2007 613100 0195306716 9780195306712 8 0 4.62 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176323511m/613100.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/613100.The_Night_Offices_Prayers_for_the_Hours_from_Sunset_to_Sunrise 5 0 false Sat Oct 27 10:08:50 -0700 2007 Sat Oct 27 10:08:50 -0700 2007 613100 0195306716 9780195306712 8 0 4.62 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176323511m/613100.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/613100.The_Night_Offices_Prayers_for_the_Hours_from_Sunset_to_Sunrise 5 0 false Tue Oct 02 18:05:51 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 02 18:05:51 -0700 2007 613100 0195306716 9780195306712 8 0 4.62 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176323511m/613100.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/613100.The_Night_Offices_Prayers_for_the_Hours_from_Sunset_to_Sunrise 5 0 false Fri May 18 20:20:06 -0700 2007 Fri May 18 20:20:06 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=613100
