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.\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barrows, Anita\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Riverhead Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781594481567\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.30w x 0.70d","brand":"Anita Barrows","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39429206933579,"sku":"9781594481567","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_e24073f6-3d2b-4e21-b6f8-4baa03e3a736.jpg?v=1625776510","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/rilkes-book-of-hours-love-poems-to-god-9781594481567","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
