Beautiful Mercy: A Book of Hours (Self-Published)

Hosted by Jamie Howison and featuring short readings as well as musical performances by Steve Bell, Gordon Johnson, Jaylene Johnson, and Mike Koop performing their songs from the CD included in the book.

In the medieval church a Book of Hours was a daily prayer book designed for use by those who lived their faith outside of the walls of the monastery. Beautiful Mercy, the saint benedict’s table Book of Hours, is a project that reimagines this tradition, grafting ancient forms and prayers to modern means of communication.

Saint benedict’s table is a congregation within the Anglican church that includes theologians, poets, musicians, artists, bloggers, novelists, reformers and rebels. Beautiful Mercy: Book of Hours carries on saint benedict’s table’s mission of telling ancient truth in contemporary ways.
