Book Reviews of A Book of Hours
Book Review: The Book I Cannot Keep
Summary: 5 Stars
A Book of Hours takes some of Thomas Merton's most reflective and poetic writing and turns those writings into prayers. Because Merton was a contemplative whose spirituality turned ever to this aching world, addressing his words both to political figures and members of the intelligentsia as well as practitioners of other faiths, he is a valuable friend and spiritual guide. Praying Merton's Hours is a very grounding experience. Also a beautiful one. I've given copies to all my friends. Highly recommended.
Summary of A Book of Hours
Thomas Merton was the most popular proponent of the Christian contemplative tradition in the twentieth century. Now, for the first time, some of his most lyrical and prayerful writings have been arranged into A Book of Hours, a rich resource for daily prayer and contemplation that imitates the increasingly popular ancient monastic practice of "praying the hours". Editor Kathleen Deignan mined Merton's voluminous writings, arranging prayers for Dawn, Day, Dusk, and Dark for each of the days of the week. A Book of Hours allows for a slice of monastic contemplation in the midst of hectic modern life, with psalms, prayers, readings, and reflections.General Books
