Inspired, Rilke returned to Germany and put down on paper what he felt were spontaneously received prayers. \u003ci\u003eRilke's Book of Hours\u003c\/i\u003e is the invigorating vision of spiritual practice for the secular world, and a work that seems remarkably prescient today, one hundred years after it was written.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRilke's Book of Hours\u003c\/i\u003e shares with the reader a new kind of intimacy with God, or the divine--a reciprocal relationship between the divine and the ordinary in which God needs us as much as we need God. Rilke influenced generations of writers with his Letters to a Young Poet, and now \u003ci\u003eRilke's Book of Hours\u003c\/i\u003e tells us that our role in the world is to love it and thereby love God into being. These fresh translations rendered by Joanna Macy, a mystic and spiritual teacher, and Anita Barrows, a skilled poet, capture Rilke's spirit as no one has done before.","brand":"Anita Barrows","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":48348801925342,"sku":"9781594481567","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0425\/4567\/6440\/files\/BNCImageAPI_8eb9348e-7868-4c37-9ef8-e1043f2eee91.jpg?v=1781921666","url":"https:\/\/paragraphbooks.com\/fr\/products\/9781594481567","provider":"Librairie Paragraphe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
