There are many forms of prayer. This little book provides the kick-start, spiritually, for more formal and regular prayer-living. Centered on the psalms and holy scripture, any Christian or person interested in Christian prayer life can gain much for a small dollar investment. By one and get one for your closest friend. Pray together!

The book contains the morning, evening, and night prayers of the Liturgy of Hours which are the Catholic Church's only required prayers for those clergy and religious men and women active in the apostolate, as opposed to the monastics who have to pray more. However, this book is also good for lay people who desire a structured way of praying that resonates, echoes, and harmonizes with the prayers of monks, nuns, priests, and religious men and women today and throughout the centuries all over the globe. The book is handy, easy to read and follow, and leatherette bound. A good gift also for people who are spiritually serious.

The Four-Week Psalter provides a rythm of prayer.It is rich & draws one into the presence of God. Come, Lord Jesus~

I regularly pray the Liturgy of the Hours on my own and use the 4-volume version. Recently, I began praying with an ecumenical group with other Christian traditions. Morning Prayer has been a very effective way for us to pray together.

Shorter Christian Prayer is an easy-to-use and reasonably priced way for us to pray our morning prayer. This is a must have for anyone looking to pray the psalms in the tradition of the Church!

We use this in the parish and pray Morning Prayer together before our 8:30 AM Mass. It is led by various lay people who take turns each weekday.

I enjoy this book completely, were I still have my pitfauts with the larger Christian prayer book this little book helps to make things much easier for me to read and understand. Now I'm still learning about how to use this tiny little book.
but it is fast becoming one of those books that i reach for each morning and evening at prayer time. thanks it is a great little book to have at hand.

I'm glad I bought this book, I have been looking to buy it. Now I can pray with other people in my parish, or pray on my own at home. I recomend it.

This is a nice book for morning and evening prayers. It has a beautiful cover and is the right size to pit into a purse or bag to take on the go. This is a perfect book to start praying the Liturgy Of The Hours.

Great price. Perfect size for ease of storage and use. Shipped promptly. Eactly what we were looking for.

As someone just coming to the Catholic faith, I found this prayer book to be a wonderful surprise. It is full of prayers for so many different situations in our lives, from a simple morning prayer to prayers under difficult circumstances. I love the old-fashioned drawings and pictures. The text is large, but I find it makes it really easy to read the prayers aloud with family. This little book is helping me learn how to pray.
