Book Reviews of A Book of Hours
Book Review: A Book of Hours
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been thinking about the concept of praying at specified hours. When looking through Amazon I discovered this book, ordered it and when it came knew it was just what I wanted (needed). There are four periods of the day for prayer and readings (Dawn, Day, Dusk and Dark). Thomas Merton is a giant within the Christian History. His direction in prayer, examination and reflection is "top drawer". I have been reading at least two entries per day and am thrilled when I can read all four entries. For the individual who wants to expand their spiritual daily activity it is a wonderfully fulfilling resource.

I think this book of hours is probably a must for any Merton fan. It takes his years of questioning, writing, grappling with the tough issues of living and places them in a prayerful mode.Book Review: Awsome book of prayers

Summary: 5 Stars
This compact book allows me to bring these prayers whereever I go. When I need a bit of insight to stop & think, I take out this version. Separating the volume into days is perfect. I was looking for a prayer book of this kind for years.
