This collection of prayers for different hours of the day, makes accessible some of the riches of Orthodox spirituality and resounds with thanksgiving for the greatness of God. The foreword explains how the prayers were first used, and how much all Christians can learn from this living tradition.
I hope that the prayers in this book, designed for the different hours of the day, will help us ... to make our prayer not just an intermittent activity, but a dimension present continually in all that we undertake ... -- Bishop Kallistos Ware, from the Preface
