Description
Eastern and Western Christians share a rich spiritual heritage in the Hours of Prayer--the brief services of praise and psalmody that mark the progress of each day, sanctifying the hours of our lives. In this gem of a book, Patricia Egan digs deeply into the meaning of each of the Hours, drawing on poetry, nature, experience, and theology to show how the services reflect the different aspects of our salvation and our lives. A Book of Hours is an excellent companion for anyone who wants to experience the blessing of praying through the Hours of each day. Inside pages are printed in two colors and feature calligraphy elements by Carla Harris.
