Book Description

Publication Date: September 14, 2006

This handy volume features the essential liturgical texts for members of the Episcopal Church, the branch of the worldwide Anglican Communion in the United States of America. As such, it is an excellent resource for the work of priests and deacons. Indeed, the "combo's" size makes it a great take-along book for anyone who would benefit from the pairing of these texts in a convenient format.

5.0 out of 5 stars Long overdue!, January 4, 2007

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

Finally available again, this compact volume of the Book of Common Prayer '79 and the NRSV Bible is a hit! It's small size, yet very readable type as well as high quality leather binding make this my daily companion to praying the Office. This should have been in print years ago, but I'm sure glad it's here today...you won't be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars fabulous combo: BCP, Aprocrypha, and NRSV, April 7, 2008

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

I couldn't be more pleased with this combo. The text of the BCP is set in a larger size font than the Bible. But still, the Bible is perfectly legible. The paper is thin to make the book a reasonable size, but it is fine quality, with no show through. The size makes the book totable, which I really prize. I have begun reading the Daily Office which is specified for each day in the BCP Lectionary. Wonderful to have NRSV and BCP and Apocrypha all in one volume. Easy to pack for travel and tote about. And I never tire of the rich language of the BCP, in which I find deep meaning. Not bad looking either with a burgandy and black pliable cover that has the look of leather, but is probably an imitation material. No matter because I got more than my money's worth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Travel Companion!, December 18, 2010
