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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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\/body\u003e","brand":"Riverhead Books","offers":[{"title":"Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God (Anniversary) | Anita Barrows | Paperback | 9781594481567 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks H 1769056","offer_id":49517871399064,"sku":"1769056","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81riJNDnTxL.jpg?v=1784618773","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/rilkes-book-of-hours-love-poems-to-god-anniversary","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
