Summary
Phyllis Tickle, among the most respected authorities on religion in America today, is one of many modern Christians who observe the ancient tradition of praying the Divine Hours, also known as the Daily Offices. This final volume in paperback, "The Divine Hours: Prayers for Autumn and Wintertime, "provides four sets of offices—morning, midday, vespers, and compline—for every day from October through January. Each includes prayers, psalms, and Bible readings for each day of these two festive seasons which include the Feast of All Saints, the Season of Advent, the days of Christmas, and the Epiphany. 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. It blends prayer and praise in a way that respects and builds upon the ancient wisdom of Christianity—yet it is extraordinarily fresh and vibrant.

Critics Review
-The Divine HoursTM is simply the best book for people who want to work prayer into the fabric of their daily life.—Bert Ghezzi, author of Voices of the Saints-A welcome remedy for the increasing number of lay Christians who have rediscovered the Daily Offices … Tickle puts each day’s prayers, psalms, readings, and refrains–everything you need–in one place … The rhythm that Tickle’s book establishes gives one a stronger sense of participating in an ancient, worldwide but very personal liturgy.—Nora Gallagher, Beliefnet.com, and author of Things Seen and Unseen: A Year Lived in Faith
