Highly recommend St. Augustine's Prayer Book as a supplemental resource for your daily prayer needs. I have been using mine for the past 5years and would be lost without it. It's a real blessing. Something for every occassion. situation and prayer need.
I just bought 2 more to give as gifts to 2 new postulants to our Order, FODC.

The Wonders of Common Prayer |
For we Anglicans, The Book of Common Prayer is our liturgical rule. It contains all of the services associated with Catholic worship for twenty centuries--but--being Common Prayer, it contains the very essentials of the very rich tapestry of Liturgical Christian Worship. It is our "Mere Liturgy" providing the essentials at their best. The Saint Augustine Prayer book adds to that the common devotions found in Missals and Breviaries as used before the reformation. With the Tractarian movement and The restoration of Catholic devotional life in The Episcopal Church and Church of England, Christians have returned to The Holy Rosary, The Litanies of The Blessed Virgin and Sacred Heart of Jesus, and The stations of The Cross. Plus many devotions for making good confessions and communions. I was a convert from the Roman Catholic Church to The Episcopal Church--but it was The Saint Augustine Prayer Book along side The Book of Common Prayer that made Catholic, Orthodox, and Reformed and Reforming Christianity my spiritual center. This book is a very good example of the genius and unique witness of Anglican Christian Faith.

A nice supplement to The Book of Common Prayer |
St. Augustine's Prayer Book is a nice supplement to The Book of Common Prayer for personal use. It is a convenient size, and easy to take along with you.

Aan excellent companion to BCP |
I present those in my Confirmation class with a gift,usually a Book of Common Prayer. One of my students already had one so, having had an old and familiar copy of St. Augustine's Prayer Book, I decided that this would be her gift. It has many sections in it that our BCP doesn't and it makes an excellent companion to it. My parents and in-laws all had them and I find it to be an old familiar friend and companion.

There are so many that I have never heard of |
I am enjoying this prayer book so much. I really love the one in the Morning Prayer section, "Just For Today." There are so many that I have never heard of and they say just what I need for that moment. I shared the book with friends at church, especially my Intercessory Prayer Ministry group, so you maybe getting some more orders from St.George's-Brooklyn NY. My Priest said he already has one. God Bless!

This is a replacement for one lost in moving, and I was lost without my Prayer Book. I have used this Prayer Book since high school and I love the prayers. The Confessional questions are designed to make you really look at yourself and to make Confession truly meaningful.

First, I wish to thank everyone at Episcopal Bookstore. Every transaction with them is superlative. Thank you.
St. Augustines Prayer Book to me is invaluable. It goes hand in hand with The Book of Common Prayer. It has all the liturgy of the Church, and I love the Stations of The Cross section. It is invaluable, especially during this Lenten season. St. Augustines Prayer book is excellent, and I highly recommend it.

I got this book after the one I'd had for years literally fell apart from much loving use. The new one is just a little bit larger, which I do like, but still a good size to carry with me wherever I go. My very favorite devotional book.

A useful addition to your prayer sources |
I bought this book only after inquiring as to its difference from the Book of Common Prayer. It is certainly Catholic in its liturgy, but is easily adaptable for Episcopalians. It is different from the BCP and is a refreshing addition to my prayer life.
