Coffee and Canticles went live on February 1 of 2011, and today February 11th, is the anniversary of the day I quit my unloved day job, making it possible to spend hours every week thinking and writing about the Liturgy of the Hours. Two lovely, lovely years.
All this business about the Pope almost put that anniversary out of my mind. But not quite.
To celebrate my Blogiversary, and to spread around some good spiritual reading at the start of lent, I'm hosting a giveaway of many fine Catholic books.
This week's prizes are:
Knowing God by Frank Sheed (Ignatius Press)
40 Day Spiritual Workout for Catholics by Bob Rice (Servant)
Lent and Easter Wisdom from St.Vincent dePaul (Ligouri)
Night Prayerbook - Compline (Sacros Press) This is a gorgeously designed book for Night Prayer only. A great way to introduce someone to the Liturgy of the Hours, or to get family members to pray with you.
Please look up these titles on Amazon if you want to learn about them.
How to win? Just enter a comment below (e.g. "I want to win!" ) Please include what title you would prefer should your name be chosen (although I can't guarantee you'll get that one if a previous winner picked it first). Entrants named "Anonymous" must include some sort of name in the comment so I know which Anonymous is the winner. ALSO, if you are not a regular follower of this blog, please include a method by which I may contact you should you win. Every time I do a giveaway, there is always at least one winner who does not check back to see the post announcing the winner's names, and thus misses out on the prize.
Winners will be picked at random a week from today.
I want to win! I would love a copy of "Night Prayerbook-Compline" for my oldest daughter who is preparing to go to college.

DeleteI'd love to win, and you know, any of the books would be just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love Coffee and Canticles. It's exciting to be part of this contest and would love to win any of these fine books.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! I think either lent/Easter wisdom or the night complained book. Congratulations on your anniversary!
ReplyDeleteLove the blog so would love to be in with a chance!
ReplyDeleteWould love to win and any book would work for me!
ReplyDeleteI just started parying the Office and have found your site very helpful in getting started. Thank you and congratulations on your anniversary. I would be happy winning any of the books you listed but would love to have a copy of the Night Prayer book as I am adding that to my morning prayer. God bless.
ReplyDeletejust discovered the Divine Office site last night... WOW! that's my comment. Very powerful way to start/end the day. I can hardly wait to get to mid-day prayer today.
ReplyDeleteIf chosen, I would welcome any of the titles offered, but probably most interested in Lent and Easter wisdom from SVdP.
my email is emmcnett@gmail.com, in case I don't get back to the blog... but somehow I think I will....
What a great give-away, Daria! I would love to have a copy of "Night Prayer!"
DeleteGod Bless!
I would like to win Knowing God or 40 Day Spriitual Workout.
DeleteI would like to know if the Liturgy of the Hours advertised for sale on this Web Site by Amazon is the same LOH the priests use? I want to get the one the priests use could you inform me please thanks.
Priests use the four volume edition. If you look at my amazon store below, you will see the breviaries that are marked "volume I" "volume II" etc. you may buy these one at time (right now you'd want the Lent/Easter volume II, or you may also buy them as a 4-volume set.
DeleteI would love to win the Night Prayerbook - Compline so that I could give it to a family of seven (five children under 10). This last weekend my wife and I had dinner with them and discussed the Liturgy of the Hours, and they were very interested in getting started. They had prayed the O Antiphons with the children reading during Lent and were looking for prayer like that to do every night, but hadn't made the connection that the LOTH could be done in a similar manner. I recommended that they begin with Night Prayer.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your wonderful blog!
I would love to win the book Knowing God by Frank Sheed. Great blog. Check mine out if you have some time. I review Catholic and Orthodox books.

Congrats and Happy Annivesary! I would like to win YOUR book! (too bad the winners aren't chosen by brownie points). All of the titles sound great, but the Spiritual Workout by Bob Rice particularly so.

DeleteHappy anniversary! Greetings from Croatia, I wish you all fruitful Lent :)
ReplyDeleteHi Daria,
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to Coffee and Canticles!
I would like to win the Forty Day Spiritual Workout for Catholics to enrich my Lent. This is also the one year anniversary of me doing the Divine Office; although, not always hitting the mark each day...and Easter will mark my entrance into the Catholic Church. So, I need this Spiritual Workout book to keep me on task. LOL.
A blessed Lent to all,
Susan
Happy Anniversary!
