The Prayers of a Righteous Man: A Lenten Journey with St Gregory of Narek (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798277969076)

For over a thousand years the prayers of St Gregory of Narek have been the most revered spiritual writing of the Armenian people, next to the Bible. While his "Book of Prayers" written in ancient Armenian (ie "Krapar") is consider the finest literary achievement in the Armenian language, with poetic use comparable to Shakespeare, the depth of theology it contains was recognized by the Roman Catholic Church resulting in St Gregory being named a Doctor of the Church. His Book of Prayers have been the source of hope in times of darkness, encouragement to those looking for truth, and sustenance for those who have hungered for a deeper and closer relationship with God. This book uses small portions of St Gregory's prayers and makes them easily accessible to anyone wishing to join St Gregory in prayer. It is especially valuable for those who this will be their first encounter with his prayers. It will also refresh those who have loved Narek for many years.

This book is intended for use during Lent which for Armenians begins with the first Monday of Lent. Each day's reading is composed of a short scripture passage from the daily prescribed Lenten readings, and a brief reflection which connects to one of St Gregory's prayers. This daily journey with St Gregory through Lent provides a connection to the season as well as a preparation for Holy Week and the celebration of Easter. The daily portion is just right for those who want to do something spiritually meaningful for Lent, but whose busy schedule makes that difficult. Try giving God five minutes a day this Lent and journey with St Gregory to a closer and deeper walk with God.
