I have a copy of the Psalms in 30 days, and yes, it covers all 150 Psalms, mostly in order. But because a few Psalms seem to be written for morning or evening, a few are out of order, like 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 3, 4, 8 ....
Hearing your thoughts on the repetition of the Our Father is fascinating. The early church fathers would be turning in their graves to hear you critique it 😂 Heck even the "Didache" written in the first century recommended the practice of praying the Lord's Prayer three times a day. So daily repetition of the Lord's Prayer was already a laudable practice in the first few decades of Christianity.
We’ve been using these for a whole church TH-cam devotional (Oban Baptist Church) and it’s been really helpful. We just use the midday prayers and have invited members of the congregation to contribute with a reading. Great resource. We’re starting Paul’s 30 days in November. Thanks for your video review!
Whenever I hear the word "devotional " I usually run away. I tried several times as a baby Christian to get in the habit of reading devotions, but I just couldn't do it. Instead, I preferred to read the Bible every evening. Once I discovered a Bible study system that worked for me, I have stayed with that, with a few tweaks over the years. However, this set interests me. I will have to hear more about this set from others (Sorry Tim) so I can hear what the other reviewers have to say. You all have different strengths in the things you look at whenever reviewing resources, so I will put this set on my maybe list, perhaps as a Christmas gift from me to me. I hope they will do this in a couple other translations, such as the ESV and KJV. Nice looking set. Thanks for the peek! :)
On the ritualistic nature of saying The Lord's Prayer so often, there's some missing context here. This three-volume set appears to be an adaptation of the Anglican Daily Office, which itself is an adaptation of the Catholic Liturgy of the Hours. The idea is that there are three pillars of our interaction with God: 1. The Holy Mass (or simply put, physically gathering together in church services) 2. The Daily Office (believers reading the same prayers and passages individually, yet in unison) 3. Private Prayer (your own personal conversation with God) The idea behind saying the Lord's prayer ritualistically like this isn't that you as an individual are praying it, it's that *you're joining hundreds of millions of Catholics and Anglicans (and other believers) in doing so*.

Very, very good I'll have to look into them.
I understand the concern but I realized I pray as much as possible before meals, before bed, and before seminary tests!!! ❤❤❤

As a (Reformed) Baptist, I have to say we could do with more ritual liturgy. Especially in a world trying to tell us history began 5mins ago.
Very nice. If I didn’t have so many I might look into the set.

I think you will love them.

Thanks for sharing this insight.
The liturgy of the hours was traditionally sung (even the gospel, prophets, and epistles).
Crazy pricing. On Amazon the 3 books bought separately would cost $40 but the bundle is $55.
Yes, and I think are half off at Lifeway.cok currently
Yeah, that's wonky. Christian Book has the set priced $38.99
Right now, they are $31.99 on Amazon.
According to Lifeway it covers all 150 psalms in 30 days
