Day by Day: Loving God More Dearly
by Frederick Borsch
$15.00 Paperback

The lyrics for the popular song Day by Day from Godspell were actually written in the Middle Ages by Richard of Chichester, a saint remembered for his humility, his perseverance in times of hardship, his care for the poor, and the strength and generosity of his faith. After his death, miracles of healing were said to have taken place through his intercession, and a shrine grew up at his cathedral in Chichester, a small city south of London. His had been a life of close friendships and high position, but also exclusion, exile and poverty.

The intonations of a brave and searching man on his knees can be heard throughout this prayer. Borsch uses the life of Richard to illuminate and guide us as we seek day by day to see more clearly, love more dearly and follow God more nearly. These intellectually solid meditations draw on Scripture and church history to aid us in our devotional life.

A Treasury of Hours: Selections from Illuminated Prayer Books
Introduction and commentaries by Fanny Fa˙-Sallois
$19.95 Hardcover

During the Middle Ages and Renaissance, kings and nobility frequently commissioned the greatest artists of their day to illustrate—or "illuminate"—their personal prayer books. Intended for private reading and meditation, these so-called "books of hours" were arranged, in keeping with the practice of the Church, so that particular prayers were read at specific times of the day. The artists who illustrated these books entwined delicate flowers, beautiful fruits, and fanciful creatures with depictions of activities appropriate to each month of the year and with moving illustrations depicting stories from the lives of Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and the saints.

Presented here are carefully selected pages from over a dozen fourteenth- and fifteenth-century manuscripts—most of which have never been published before—found in some of the world's leading museums and libraries. Arranged and described to guide the viewer's eye, these delightful and colorful illustrations invite readers, young and old, to immerse themselves in the medieval imagination.

Also included are a glossary and a short history of the noble personages who commissioned the works and the artists who produced them.
