"A marvelous complement to Phyllis Tickle’s celebrated The Divine Hours, gathering in one volume the fixed-hour prayers from late evening to early morning Phyllis Tickle’s inspirational trilogy The Divine Hours was the first major literary and liturgical reworking of the sixth-century Benedictine Rule of fixed-hour prayer—an age-old discipline of saying prayers at certain times of the day. This highly regarded trilogy has become one of America’s best-loved and most frequently consulted manuals for observing this ancient form of Christian worship.
Now, in The Night Offices, Tickle offers the perfect complement to The Divine Hours, bringing together prayers, psalms, hymn texts, religious poetry and other readings not included in the original trilogy, covering the offices for the hours from late evening (Compline) to early morning (Prime)."
