An African Prayer Book
In An African Prayer Book, the great Archbishop of Capetown, South Africa, shares a collection of the spiritual riches of the vast and varied continent of Africa. We read the simple prayer of the penniless Bushman, the words of the great Church fathers, Augustine and Athanasius, the petitioning and jubilant voices from South Africa's struggle for freedom, and even the prayers from the African diasporas of North America and the Caribbean. Here too are Jesus' own encounters with Africa, which provided him refuge at the beginning of his life (from King Herod) and aid at its end (in Simon of Cyrene, who helped Jesus carry his cross). |

The Divine Hours: Prayers for Summertime
The first volume in a trilogy of prayer manuals compiled by Phyllis Tickle as a contemporary Book of Hours is now available in paperback. The first major literary and liturgical reworking of the sixth-century Benedictine Rule of fixed-hour prayer, The Divine Hours heralds a renewal of the tradition of disciplined daily prayer. 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. |
