Review

This remarkable little book will provide a useful guide to daily prayer for any reader...an excellent resource Church of England Newspaper


Product Description

When Phyllis Tickle's marvelous devotional trilogy The Divine HoursTM appeared, readers responded with gratitude, praise, and a great many requests for an edition of hourly prayers that they could easily carry with them--an edition that would make this ancient form of Christian worship compatible with the pace and mobility of modern life.
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little disappointment, May 9, 2008
By Lauren E. Nichols (Fort Wayne, IN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After using the three-volume Divine Hours for the past two years, and wishing it were less cumbersome to carry about, I was pleased to discover this pocket edition for everyday use. I like the format and the prayers chosen quite well. However, I'm surprised that the design did not include a ribbon bookmark--essential in a volume like this. Also, for such a short book, I have found a distressing number of typographical errors. I hope to see these things corrected in the next edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Prayer Source In Only 123 Pages, November 3, 2007
By Karl Sooder (Orlando, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Once again, Phyllis Tickle does a superb job of adapting the traditional prayers of the hours to modern life. This very compact tome contains an excellent prayer set arranged for the traditional seven offices for each of the seven days in the week. This volume is excellent, not only for travel, but when time does not permit the use of the more extended hourly offices found in the larger prayer books by the same author. I own all of the Phyllis Tickle "The Divine Hours TM" and cherish each.
