Como usar o pacote de memórias para criar uma página de título personalizada

Question

Provavelmente existe uma maneira fácil de fazer isso, mas como posso adicionar um estilo de página de título de livro de memórias a um documento existente? Eu tentei esse código, mas ainda recebo a página de título básica.

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,twoside]{memoir}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{titlesec}  %needs recent version of »titlesec«
\usepackage{xcolor}


\newcommand*{\titleGM}{\begingroup% Gentle Madness
\drop = 0.1\textheight
\vspace*{\baselineskip}
\vfill
\hbox{%
\hspace*{0.2\textwidth}%
\rule{1pt}{\textheight}
\hspace*{0.05\textwidth}%
\parbox[b]{0.75\textwidth}{
\vbox{%
\vspace{\drop}
{\noindent\HUGE\bfseries Some\\[0.5\baselineskip]
Conundrums}\\[2\baselineskip]
{\Large\itshape Puzzles for the Mind}\\[4\baselineskip]
{\Large THE AUTHOR}\par
\vspace{0.5\textheight}
{\noindent The Publisher}\\[\baselineskip]
}% end of vbox
}% end of parbox
}% end of hbox
\vfill
\null
\endgroup}

\title{\Huge\textbf{ORTHODOX RULE OF PRAYER}}
\author{\Large\textbf{Father Thomas Moore, Michael Dykes}}
\date{\Large{\today}}

\begin{document}

\title{\Huge\textbf{ORTHODOX RULE OF PRAYER}}
\author{\Large\textbf{Father Thomas Moore, Michael Dykes}}
\date{\Large{\today}}

Towards evening, we stand before the holy icons (having lit a candle and        maybe some incense), with reverence and fear of God; we gather our thoughts, make the        Sign of the Cross, and say:

\end{document}

Obrigado!!!

Você só precisa criar o \dropcomprimento e invocar \titleGMem seu documento (fiz outras duas pequenas alterações, definindo o estilo da página para emptyalterar a altura da regra para evitar overfull \vbox):

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,twoside]{memoir}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{titlesec}  %needs recent version of »titlesec«
\usepackage{xcolor}

\newlength\drop
\newcommand*{\titleGM}{%
\thispagestyle{empty}
\begingroup% Gentle Madness
\drop = 0.1\textheight
\vspace*{\baselineskip}
\vfill
\hbox{%
\hspace*{0.2\textwidth}%
\rule{1pt}{\dimexpr\textheight-28pt\relax}%
\hspace*{0.05\textwidth}%
\parbox[b]{0.75\textwidth}{
\vbox{%
\vspace{\drop}
{\noindent\HUGE\bfseries Some\\[0.5\baselineskip]
Conundrums}\\[2\baselineskip]
{\Large\itshape Puzzles for the Mind}\\[.37\baselineskip]
{\Large THE AUTHOR}\par
\vspace{0.5\textheight}
{\noindent The Publisher}\\[\baselineskip]
}% end of vbox

\vfill
