    Daria, you hit a home run with this new book !!!
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2013*

What a wonderful, easy to read book that Daria Sockey has written. The best guidebook, with historical background, and inspirational treatise I have read on Liturgy of the Hours. Certainly a “must read” for any lay beginner or even someone considering beginning to pray the Daily Office, Divine Office, or Liturgy of the Hours, as it is now called. If you have been praying the hours, you will love this book, too.In just 117 pages, which are written in such an easy, down to earth style, as though you were sitting at Daria’s kitchen table over a cup of coffee, this book walks you through the history, the purpose, and the benefits of adopting this most efficacious spiritual/religious habit.Daria has one of the most comprehensive lists of resources for praying the Liturgy of the Hours (LOTH) that I have come across; printed options, on-line options, smartphone/tablet options, replete with all the sources, estimated prices and web addresses. No excuse for you to not be able to obtain just the right LOTH method for your prayer style or pocketbook.I especially like Part Three of the book. This section brings you from the forest, among the trees, even under the bark, to examine how the Psalms can be understood and applied to your daily life, no matter who you are, and not come across as ancient, pre-Christian, Old Testament prose.This is not just a high-level overview of LOTH, although it does contain many thoughts and ideas that wrap you up by praying the daily LOTH in a warm, comforting blanket. Daria’s book contains effective step-by-step instruction on how to pray any or all of the seven liturgical hours of the day.I am so impressed with the nuggets of information, little tid-bits about this great liturgical prayer that she has sprinkled through-out this book. So many laypeople are finally coming to discover and make LOTH a part of their lives. They are becoming involved along with their parish community, local religious (monks and nuns), even their clergy. Many are praying LOTH by themselves; at home, in their cars, at work, wherever they can find a few minutes to pray.I have been praying the Liturgy of the Hours for several years now. I picked it up and taught myself, with great difficulty because the material just didn’t seem to be available to help. I wish I had a resource when I began, like Daria’s new book.I am also an Oblate of Saint Benedict and I pray the hours almost every day; many times several hours each day. I also join with the monks at my local Monastery while they sing the Divine Office in Latin and Gregorian chant. As part of my personal, private recitation of LOTH, I have added to my routine the Extraordinary Form of the Office using the Monastic Diurnal and have recently begun using the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I have also taught introduction to LOTH at my local parish and have assisted my Pastor in starting a regular Sunday Vespers LOTH session at our Parish.So, as someone who is not new to the Liturgy of the Hours, and who has prayed using a variety of methods and resources, I found Daria’s book to be enlightening, easy to read, instantly applicable and straight-forward.Daria, you hit a home run with this new book!Doug Lyons, Ob.

    A very helpful, friendly book
  

*by M***B on Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2013*

I have to confess, I'm not the most unbiased of reviewers. I've been a fan of Daria's Coffee and Canticles blog since I first found it in 2011 I was so excited to see someone writing so clearly and insightfully about the Liturgy of the Hours. When I learned she was writing a book I was over the moon.Daria's book doesn't disappoint, either. It's a great primer for the Liturgy of the Hours, aka Divine Office, aka Breviary, aka Christian Prayer, aka Morning, Evening, Daytime,and Night Prayer, aka Lauds, Vespers, Terce, None, Sext, Vespers, and Compline (with a dash of the Office of Readings, aka Vigils). This is a book I'd definitely recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about this primary prayer of the Church. If you've been curious about the Liturgy of the Hours but didn't know where to start; if you've never heard of the Liturgy of the Hours but are interested in learning about an ancient form of prayer that has existed from the earliest days of the Church; if you have a breviary gathering dust because you just can't figure out how to use it; if you want to read more scripture but aren't sure how to begin... really unless you are a Liturgy of the Hours pro, this book probably has something for you. And even for someone like me who has been praying it for a decade, I still found some great little nuggets and a lot of encouragement.The book introduces the various hours and explains how they are prayed, dissecting them into the various parts. She explains all the technical vocabulary, reviews all the various versions out there, including electronic versions, as well as the various learning resources and guides. She tells you not only how to pray, but why to pray as well. She explains how the liturgy of the hours meshes with the liturgical year. She addresses common complaints and quibbles. She even dives into a bit of spiritual exegesis for beginners.And the book is short enough not to be overwhelming: only 115 pages. All very easy to read in non-complicated layman's language. All in all a very friendly little book. I'm thinking this, perhaps along with a volume of Christian Prayer, would be a great gift for confirmation. Treat yourself, treat a friend.
