If you are looking for a way to do the Daily Office and want the convience of having only one book to use, then this one is the way to go. You have in one handy volume the complete text to the Book of Common Prayer and the NRSV Bible. I have looked for while for just such a book to do my daily devotionals. Not only will you have the two year lectionary, but all the collects and others prayers to enhance your prayer life.

If you are looking for a good prayer book, this is the one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent devotional & spiritual growth tool, May 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The 1979 Book of Common Prayer and the New Revised Standard Version Bible with the Apocrypha (Hardcover)

Even if you are not from the Anglican/Episcopal tradition you owe it to yourself to immerse yourself in the lofty solid practice of daily [or common] prayer. Having the Bible [NRSV, a modern yet superb translation] and the 1979 BCP in one is a joy and delight. Reading the daily office is spiritually profitable and with this NRSV/BCP much easier. The text size is comfortable and this edition should be quite handy for teachers as well as lay people who desire a deeper walk with the Lord. Leadership magazine [a journal for ministers] in 1999 listed the favorite devotional classics of all evangelical clergy and the Book of Common Prayer was #3. Spending time with God's Word and prayer/devotional material dating back to the apostles is pretty rich! I highly recommend it. The hardback edition is solidly built and well crafted for many, many years of use.
