I absolutely love this book! It's honestly become my favorite one out of the "trilogy", (Blue Prayer Book and Green Psalter). The translation is great and the Hours are short enough to be done in a non-monastic setting, even when super busy. It's helped me both organize my day and keep my focus. I highly recommend people try incorporating the Hours in their schedule.
I did try to pray the old liturgy of the hours during Lent a decade ago. I do at least try to read, pray and meditate (western not eastern meditation) on God’s Holy Word every day. Now I’m a Protestant and my theology is more aligned with the Western Church than the Eastern Church but I also think the Nicene Creed is the basis of orthodoxy for all believers in Christ.
I’m a metalhead, and have been since the 80’s, and like you, am very much religious and collect prayer books, rosaries and such. Love your channel! God bless brother!
This book is fast becoming one of my favorites from HTM. At first I hated it because I thought "why would I want all of the hours except for vespers and compline when I pray the most?!" But then I've realized I can use typica or midnight service for sunday at those times. Well, that seems to work for me anyway. Thanks.
Hi! Today while I was reading/praying from my Agpeya/Agpia (which I learned about from your videos about a year ago), I looked up book of hours for EO and it's the first time I ever heard "Horologian". So of course, I scampered over here to see if you'd done a review and...yay! Thank you very much #OrthodoxReview, hope you and yours are safe and well.
What's the deal with schismatics putting out the best books? They almost always seem to be a cut above the canonical publications in terms of general quality. Like, the Jordanville is great in terms of content, but the paper quality is low in comparison to HTM books.
@@benharris7913I had a similar thought: they have to work extra hard to sell the book, and therefore cannot give up on quality where so many nowadays do. I two can feel the difference in quality between the Jordanville Prayer book & HTM Psalter. Because I love buying things, I’ll probably get more HTM products because I am a nerd.
Hey -- that's my book! 😁 Binding, right?! I used to work for a bookbinder, and it does my nerdy bibliophile heart good to see sewn, not glued, pages....
I enjoyed your review as I have many of the others on your channel. As a priest who was once part of HOCNA I agree of your assessment of their publications. I believe they are simply the best. As for the black nail decorations???
Thank you for doing all these reviews they are very helpful to me especially because it’s hard to come by anything for Orthodox Christians in my area. You are thorough and answer a lot of questions.
Great you're into punk. I am too, as well as metal and new wave. Still love listening to the 80s where I was at as a teen. Anyway, have you reviewed any deacon and priest service book yet? I do have the Antiochian Liturgikon which has been very useful for me.
I got the Horologion 1997 monster-size edition which was kindly sent to me by the brothers of the HTM. It's awesome!.. I like watching my church buddies drop their jaws in surprise as they see this huge, beautifully-printed, icon-filled volume. They've never seen anything like this here in Siberia! 😁
Do you have the HTM Holy Week and Pascha book? Holy Week is soon, and I think that this it has the best translation and is both English and Greek, with the pascha bible verses in about 10 languages. It was Elder Panteleimons final wish for that book to be published.
I paint my nails black all of the time. Looks great I think. Don’t be ashamed of it and feel you need to explain. You be you as a follower of Christ. I do not think God has a problem with it.
Loved the video, even though we are different denominations (I myself am Pentecostal) we are still one in Christ. Good wishes from a fellow disciple! ✝️💜☦️

Ew, watching videos made during covid. What a sham. 😂
Great video. I’m a nerd so ima buy this book.

I agree. We need more monasteries to pick it up in this area.
Glad I’m not the only one who noticed. Schismatic groups for some reason do have the best quality books, both in content and in printing/publishing.
I actually spoke with my priest about this last week. The schismatics attract perfectionists, and so they will make perfect books.
@@benharris7913 That’s an oddly insightful comment. And it makes a lot of sense.

I do appreciate your videos. Also, grew up on punk and still listen to punk. So.....links to your punk band?
Lol, don't have a punk band at the moment, but if I start another one, I'll let you know.

Thanks! Yeah, I explained it near the end of the video.

How different is the Book of Hours from the Great Horologion?
It's just the hours themselves, without much supplemental material.
I'm thinking what's the story behind the missing fingernail.
Ol' nub thumb? Torn off in a freak stove moving accident.
@@OrthodoxReview man, that must've hurt.
Thank you for this fabulous review!!!
You made my day !!! May God keep you in His Hands!!!
I love that you wear nail polish. Metal head since the 90’s here. Also, nice tats!
Thanks!

I don't have them yet..
Orthodox Review I hope you can get it soon. About $30.
Right on! I think I can swing that...
It's so much better than the GOA one.

Yeah really you don't think God has a problem with it?
Beautiful book! I got it recently.

What is the difference between this book and the HTM prayer book (the blue one)?
You didn't watch the video
@@OrthodoxReview
Well yes I actually did but never mind.
I saw it.
What happened to your thumb?
I ate it
Well the Latin word for left is sinister.
I love the black fingernails. I do that sometimes as well.
Your thumb
We know it. And we love it.
First!
LOL
I always thought there was only one book in Christianity? The holy bible
Oh, my sweet summer child! There is a treasury of Christian wisdom to be had!
