The Jordanville Prayer Book is the king of Orthodox prayer books. Includes a variety of acathists, canons, preparation for Eucharist, daily prayers, and others. It's also a very beautiful prayer book, with an attractive front cover and gold-leaf pages like a Bible.If you are Orthodox, Eastern Catholic, or simply interested in expanding your prayer life or learning more of Eastern Christian spirituality, you need to get this prayer book! Peace.
This book has been around for decades with a few new, improved editions. It is the standard from which other Russian and other Orthodox prayer books try to emulate. It is loved by many faithful Orthodox Christians. These prayers become a real blessing in one's life with consistent use. (This recommendation by an Orthodox priest.)
I find it provides structure and content necessary for prayer. Before buying the book, my prayers seemed rather empty and disorganized. With it, I can find inspiration for I want to say from my own heart. Has been very useful in maintaining my prayer life in the morning and evening.
This prayer book contains the full series of Orthodox morning and evening prayers but also provides a nice size book for all of the recommended preparatory readings prior to Holy Communion. I travel often and the book easily fits into my purse so that I can read the morning prayers at the airport or on the plane waiting for takeoff for those early morning flights.Although the translation does contain "thy" rather than "your" it is not archaic and readily understood by today's standards.
Among the best currently available Eastern Orthodox prayer books -- and my personal favorite in English. It is a good translation of a standard Russian (actually, Slavonic) spiritual companion for laity. Well worth the price.
The book is fine; it was for a special gift and the gift was thoroughly appreciated. Best of all was 's handling of a little delivery problem. Totally top-notch customer service that corrected everything. Kudos to the team for living-up to their customer service promise when little mistakes occur. The book itself is a compact, beautifully rendered but quite simple translation of a Russian Orthodox prayer collection. As such, and being a gift, it fulfilled every expectation on my end. I leafed through: well-printed and so on and so forth, with some beautiful prayers, as far as I could see: kontakions and troparions, and akathists and daily prayers, morning prayers. The lot. Great gift for an orthodox friend or family member, or as a chrismation gift, convert gift, etc.
Perfect prayer book. Small enough to be carried wherever you go as well as keeping by bedside. Delivered fast. An important part of orthodox life right at your fingertips.
My constant companion for nearly 30 years -- buy it, use it, and watch your life change.I have looked through a lot of prayer books, all of which have points to commend them, but there are none that come close to this Holy Trinity Monastery (Jordanville) prayer book in the English language. One can tell that the recently deceased Brother Lawrence (Father John at the time of his death) was a true man of prayer -- it shines through in these translations. I bought it after he completely revamped the book to integrate the Psalter published by Holy Transfiguration Monastery (the best available) and generally improved an already fine prayer book. The amount of material in this book is just right for general use.I have Slavonic prayer books that have much more material, but much of that material can be obtained by getting a copy of the Unabbreviated Horologion (also from Jordanville, so it fully integrates with this prayer book -- prayers that appear in both are the same, word for word). There are canons used in preparing for weekday communion that are in the Slavonic books that have never been translated, but one can hope that someday Jordanville will take on that worthy task
