This book is an excellent introduction to and instructional manual for the Liturgy of the Hours. Before I received "Lord Open My Lips", I tried to work my way through the four volume set of the Breviary using the companion St. Joseph Guide, but I found it confusing, and I was not always sure I was praying "correctly" or as intended. It is a shame for those finding it too difficult, discouraging, etc. to bring the Liturgy of Hours into their lives because they had trouble tangling with the mechanics of performing same. This book is a perfect and, I would dare say, much needed resource, particularly for laiety interested in enriching their spiritual prayer life with this rich form of daily prayer.
