Saint Augustine's Prayer Book Leather Bound – November 5, 2012

Good quality. Much smaller than anticipated, as I should’ve read the description better. Well made. Not so easy to just read without glasses, because of the small print. Good, sturdy binding. Nice paper making the pages up. Needs to have a larger print. Good information given of prayers, etc.

Beautiful prayer book with loads of content

Most Episcopalians have a copy of the BCP in their homes, but this is a “must have” to the BCP. Wonderful prayers, stations of the cross, how to pray the rosary (if you want) prayers for the sick, dying, meditations for the Eucharist.The description says it comes from”gift boxed” but that is not true. It came in a plastic bag. Great price and it would make a great gift also. A treasure trove of prayer.

Great prayer book!

Great gift for anyone new to the church or who wants to deepen their faith. A great explanation of the church calendar, ways to focus yourself, and devotions.

If you don't want to carry around the Book of Common Prayer or a full missal, this book covers all number of prayers and mediations. The print quality is nice, it's just a little stiffer, more flimsy, and smaller than some photos appeared. I also spent about 45 minutes delicately splitting pages apart, because the gold seal stuck about 30% of the pages together- par for the course with a lot of prayer books and Bibles with such a coating.

Wonderful resource of prayers regardless of your denomination. Highly recommended!

This is a wonderful Anglican resource for those who want a more vibrant life of the spirit. It is not meant to substitute the Book of Common Prayer but supplements it with many additional prayers, devotions and instructions that are appropriate for individuals. When I had to go to the hospital unexpectedly, the prayer for healing on p. 87 meant a good deal to me and was repeated multiple times each day. Most Anglicans and those from some other liturgical traditions are acquainted with the Stations of the Cross. But in this book I found a set of post-Easter celebrations called Stations of the Resurrection. As a monastic I offer the Daily Office but there are litanies and prayers that enrich the basic marking of time.My only problem with the book is with some of the instructions which are printed in a feint red print. My aging eyes cannot read this and I have to get a magnifying glass to help. But I can see the regular black print quite well.The book is just the right size to go in the back pocket of jeans or in a suit coat vest pocket. It is a sturdy book and can take some hard wear just fine. In fact, it should get hard wear and use! It is a treasure and it accompanies me wherever I go.
