Description
Nunc coepi. Now I begin.
This year-long personal prayer book offers insights from spiritual masters, Scripture selections for lectio divina focused on prayer, weekly reflection questions, and an invitation into deeper and more abiding prayer every day of your year.
Do you desire to grow into becoming a person of prayer?
Do you want to understand what praying means?
Do you long to develop a habit of prayer but feel overwhelmed at where to start?
The 365-day book divides the year into thirds pivoting around the writings of Jean Pierre de Cassaude, Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection, and Gabrielle Bossis. Each week begins with a short excerpt from one of these spiritual writers. Monday-Friday you walk sequentially through the Psalms for the first two sections, and the Gospels for the third. Wednesdays you pause to be nourished by a spiritual maxim by Saint Philip Neri, the Desert Fathers and Mothers, and Saint Francis de Sales. Saturdays you read reflection questions on the themes for the week and are invited to journal if you feel called.
Endorsement
Our life of prayer – our friendship with Jesus and union with God – is the surest source of true happiness and deep peace. Nunc Coepi offers a guiding hand that will lead you in the way of prayer with the gathered wisdom of those who have gone before us in the faith and practical steps that will animate your prayer, allowing it to bear more abundant fruit in your own soul and in the world. Whether you are beginning or beginning again in your life of prayer, I recommend this beautiful little book wholeheartedly.

This prayer book has been a great blessing. While I enjoy reading daily devotions written by a variety of sources, I prefer a less-structured guide for reflection at the end of the day. The simple prompts for each day are guidance enough to prompt comtemplation and help me to identify ways that I have been living out God’s will for me and ways that I can improve. I love that the simplicity of the Nunc Coepi Prayer Book will allow me to utilize it year after year as my prayer life changes with the seasons of my life.

I love this book & have given it as 2 gifts!
I liked it the moment it was received, the black leather, the introduction, format et. everything, perfect size for holding & carrying in purse/bag
I believe I have missed 2 days, yet caught up
I especially look forward to the Wednesday & Sunday devotion, to experience other writers.
I’m thankful for introducing me to Gabrielle Bossis
Thank you for your devotion & spiritual insight

After so many years of Bible in a year plans, Nunc Coepi has allowed me to slow down and savor the simplest of words in Scripture and see it in a way I never could have before. While with other devotional books it would be easy to read huge portions of the Bible and then move on, Nunc Coepi draws the attention of your heart back to truly knowing (not just reading about) our Lord. So, so grateful for this little book!! 🙂

I have spent the past year with this lovely prayer journal. It has a simple, yet profound way that it is organized. This allows me to truly “be” with the Lord. I’ve learned to love my prayer time this past year, and look forward to the daily moments of quiet. This has been a great source of comfort during the hills and valleys of my year. I’m ordering a second one for this upcoming year because it has had that much of an impact on my life! A true blessing, thank you!

What a treasure this book is! I recently ordered it and it way exceeds my expectations! It’s absolutely beautifully made and laid out so well. I’m saving it to begin in the new year, but of course I couldn’t resist looking through it. I’m soooo excited to use this for my morning devotional. Thank you for such a gorgeous product!
