Prayer books (Liturgy of the Hours) for non-Catholics especially Calvinists

MJ. Smith

I suggest the following books as a part of a comprehensive psalm-based prayer package:

I've included some web links for people who think they aren't interested to check out:

by Phyllis Trickle:

• The Divine Hours: Prayers for Autumn and Wintertime
• The Divine Hours: Prayers for Summertime
• The Divine Hours: Prayers for Springtime
• The Night Offices: Prayers for the Hours from Sunset to Sunrise

Anabaptist:

• Take our Moments and Our Days http://www.ambs.edu/prayerbook

Church of England:

• Common Worship: Daily Prayer http://www.churchofengland.org/prayer-worship/join-us-in-daily-prayer.aspx  [also flagged as Presbyterian and I'm feeling to lazy to sort it out]
• Food in Due Season (table graces)

Wesleyan:

• This Day (This Day contains  thirty-one forms of prayer, one  for each day of the month drawn from: John Wesley's 1738 Forms of Prayer for Every Day of the Week, The 1784 Order for Morning
  Prayer, The United Methodist Book of Worship,  The Book of Common
  Prayer, The IONA and Taize Communities, the Benedictine tradition, the
  Eastern Orthodox tradition, and contemporary sources. )

http://www.liturgy.co.nz/ofthehours/online.html provides a list of sites of a variety of resources including Coptic, Breviary of the Council of Trent 1911 edition, Celtic Breviary (Orthodox), Syriac Orthodox

http://worship.calvin.edu/resources/resource-library/uncovering-the-blessing-of-fixed-hour-prayer  provides information for Calvinists.

As someone who as used For All the Saints off an on for over twenty five years, this would be great. That said, unless somehow ALPB has some form of digital rights to all the fourth readings and various prayers of saints included that Logos would be able to use, getting rights for it would be almost certainly be enough of a nightmare that it would be much easier to start over almost from scratch. [:'(] That said, it would certainly be worth making the call/email to see if we might be lucky.

Anabaptist:

• Take our Moments and Our Days http://www.ambs.edu/prayerbook

This is now available in Logos eBooks - I highly recommend it.

Take Our Moments # 1: An Anabaptist Prayer Book

Take Our Moments # 2: An Anabaptist Prayer Book Advent through Pentecost

And it took less than a decade!!!

I figured it was time to bump some of these suggestions that haven't come into Logos yet and give links for those that have.

The correct spelling of her name is Tickle. These are not in Logos yet, but there is already a Feedbear suggestion for the first three:

And I've just added one for The Night Offices:

I'm not so sure the Presbyterian one is the same as the Church of England one. The Presbyterian one is available in pre-pub:

https://www.logos.com/product/156239/book-of-common-worship-daily-prayer-2018-edition 

The Church of England one is not available in Logos, not even in pre-pub, but I've created Feedbear suggestions for it:

Food in Due Season (table graces)

Not available yet. I've posted a request for it:

https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/logos-book-requests/posts/food-in-due-season-daily-table-graces-for-the-christian-year 

While I was at it, I discovered that the author also published another book that would make a good companion, so I posted a request for that too:

Living Bread: Prayers and Preparation for Holy Communion

This one is available now:

And Dan Francis added this suggestion to this thread, which I've also now posted a request for on Feebear:
