The first volume in a trilogy of prayer manuals compiled by Publishers Weekly religion editor Phyllis Tickle as a contemporary Book of Hours to guide Christians gently yet authoritatively through the daily offices. The Divine Hours is the first major literary and liturgical reworking of the sixth-century Benedictine Rule of fixed-hour prayer. This beautifully conceived and thoroughly modern three-volume guide will appeal to the theological novice as well as to the ecclesiastical sophisticate. Making primary use of the Book of Common Prayer and the writings of the Church Fathers, The Divine Hours is also a companion to the New Jerusalem Bible, from which it draws its Scripture readings. The trilogy blends prayer and praise in a way that, while extraordinarily fresh, respects and builds upon the ancient wisdom of Christianity. The first book in the set, Prayers for Summertime, filled with prayers, psalms, and readings, is one readers will turn to again and again. Compact in size, it is perfect for those seeking greater spiritual depth. As a contemporary Book of Hours, The Divine Hours: Prayers for Summertime heralds a renewal of the tradition of disciplined daily prayer, and will whet the hunger of a large and eager audience for the follow-up autumn/winter and spring volumes.

THE PERFECT HOLIDAY GIFT BOOK FOR THESE CHALLENGING TIMES. Prayers For All Peopleis a collection of prayers from around the world, and from a variety of religious traditions over the past five hundred years-a book for anyone seeking a sense of spirituality and comfort in a world that grows increasingly chaotic each day. The prayers are centered on life's major passages: birth, comming of age, confronting illness, marriage, the quest for God, commitment to spirituality, arriving at elderhood, death. They come from a variety of the world's major religious traditions and cultures, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hindu. Celtic, Mayan, Native American, and Zoroastrian.Prayers For All Peoplecontains familiar prayers, some rarely seen in the West, and some that have never before been published. The previously unpublished prayers come from disparate sources; some were written specifically for this book by leading scholars and contemplatives, such as Professor Huston Smith, Brother David Steindl-Rast, Sri Eknath Easwaran, and Mother Tessa Bielecki, and others were translated especially for this volume from a variety of languages and cultures. There are prayers that have been handed down for thousands of years, such as the Zoroastrian prayer for marriage and the Jain prayer for forgiveness, and prayers that are contemporary, such as "Psalm of a Torture Victim" from Central America and a sixteen-year-old gangster's prayer.Prayers For All Peopleoffers something for everyone-and provides a way to celebrate and commemorate life's journey.

For those seeking inspiration and devotion for Lent and beyond, A Path to Wholeness is an invitation to Lenten observance through Biblical passages and reflections. The ache of the human heart has always been to be made whole. The thrust of the Christian hope is that it can only come to that wholeness by way of a personal relationship with God, through Christ. This book is intentionally written as an avenue towards deepening, strengthening, and for some, beginning such a relationship during the forty days of Lent. This thoughtful book, focusing on Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, is part of a four-part series on seasonal observances and devotions.

Lewis and Thomas Merton; and such literary figures as George Herbert, John Donne and Christian Rossetti. Each of the 52 chapters begins with a written prayer from a recognized spiritual mentor or significant writer followed by an account of Jones's search for its meaning amid the scenes of life.

"Before the city of Chicago existed, there was Fort Dearborn and the Potawatomi tribe." "Through the eyes of two young boys and their fathers - one a sergeant with the United States First Infantry, the other a Potawatomi warrior - Jerry Crimmins tells the story of the 1812 struggle of fire and blood known as the Fort Dearborn Massacre." "A suspenseful narrative, Fort Dearborn is also a remarkable historical tale, minutely observed and meticulously documented to preserve and even reconstruct key moments in American history. Using scores of letters, historical documents, maps, and long-forgotten Indian speeches. Jerry Crimmins breathes life into the little-known drama that took place around what is now downtown Chicago."--BOOK JACKET.

This collection of prayers for daily use has been gathered from many sources, ancient and modern. It has historical interest, and the literary quality has been carefully considered, but the primary object is to nourish the spiritual life. As the design is to provide a brief selection for every day, in many cases a portion only of a long prayer is given, or it is condensed by omission, but alterations have been made as sparingly as possible. - Preface.
