In Praying the Hours Suzanne Guthrie offers us a contemporary way to practice the ancient tradition of hallowing time throughout the day by making the hours with prayer and thanksgiving. With humor and wisdome she draws on her experience as a wife, mother, Episcopal priest, and teacher of children, showing us through her own life how these detotions can fold into the times of a hectic day. By praying the hours all the activities of our days -- our eating, sleeping, working, cleaning, playing, and reading -- become part of the sanctification of time and place. 131 pages, paperback.
