La Hora Náutica

by Tony Bailey, Pedro Guzman (Translator)

Antes de la era de sistemas de navegación por satelite, la navegación en el mar abierto requería una gran habilidad y entendimiento. Para poder poner el barco en la dirección deseada, teníamos que saber cuál era la posición del mísmo. Como no hay señales terrestres en el mar abierto, puntos de referencia tenían que ser descubiertos antes que el navegante pudiera triangular la posición del barco. El cielo de la noche ofrecía éstos puntos de referencia con las estrellas y patrones celestiales. El navegante estudiaba las estrellas y con unos simples cálculos determinaría aproximadamente la longitud y latitud del barco. Pero el cielo de la noche no daba un horizonte visible para guiar el barco. El navegante necesitaba la luz del día, la cual venía y borraba la visibilidad de las estrellas.

La Hora Náutica fue entoces descubierta como la hora crucial en el día del navegante. La única hora en el día donde las estrellas de la noche y el horizonte del día saliente eran ambas visibles al navegante. El período de tiempo donde la noche cambiaba al día antes del amanecer. Una vez que el sol saliera ya el navegante perdía la habilidad de calcular la posición del barco. Sin embargo, durante la Hora Náutica, el navegante no solo podía calcular la posición del barco sino también podía darle la dirección apropiada.

This book is one to read and re-read regularly as a constant reminder of the power of early morning prayer. Has truly impacted my life.

[Jorge Murcia · Rating 4 out of 5]

“…a prayer-life is not an event but rather a continuous journey.” The Nautical hour in context is a reference to the Nautical Twilight, a specific hour of the day helpful to navigation of ships. (The book goes into detail about it) It serves the purpose for which it is written which I believe is to make a convincing case for making early morning prayer a part of your life and the value of it. I don’t give it a four star because the author uses Bible verses at times that, in context, don’t support the claims or points he is trying to make. The verses provided are word of God though so in the end, are still edifying. The authors personal examples are definitely powerful, intriguing, and thought-provoking. Read with an open mind and understanding and you’ll get a lot out of this book.

Tony Bailey has written a powerful text on the subject of prayer in the early hours of the day. Very biblical and a timeless piece of Christian literature written by a man who fleshes out the things he shares.

answers

This book provides answers to why early prayer should be daily habit. It also provides encouragement for those times when we fall of the wagon.
