Description
In our busy lives, many faithful Christians like to carry a prayer book with them wherever they go. Sometimes the full extent of the Church's riches are what we need, but at other times and seasons of life, we need just the basics. Our Pocket Prayer Book for Orthodox Christians is an ideal option for your consideration.
With a similar form factor to other popular prayer books, our Pocket Prayer Book features compact dimensions, around the size of a pack of index cards. With a sturdy hardcover and sewn binding, the book is sure to withstand years of loving use, beyond that of a saddle-stitch (stapled) binding.
The book includes all the essentials:
- The traditional Morning and Evening Prayers
- Prayers for throughout the day
- Prayers at the table
- Prayers for various needs
- The Rule of Saint Pachomius, for saying the Jesus Prayer
- The Office of the Twelve Psalms, a simplified version of the Daily Office
- The Office of Typica, for home prayer when it is not possible to attend church
- The Paschal Office, for Bright Week
- The Akathist Hymn to the Theotokos
- Examination of Conscience and prayers for Confession
- The Prayers of Preparation and Thanksgiving for Communion
- The Orthodox Church's rules and guidlines for fasting
- Space for writing lists of names, notes, and personal prayers
If you are seeking a small, simple prayer book that has all the essentials, whether for travel or to carry with you throughout the day, or for those who are beginners in the spiritual life of prayer, our Saint Ignatius Orthodox Press Pocket Prayer Book is a wonderful and affordable choice.

I don’t often write reviews for products so apologies in advance if it’s not a “professional review”. This prayer book has been extremely helpful in my outdoor prayer life. It has all the necessary prayers I need for when I’m out and about, which is all I could really ask for. But the richness of the extra prayers provided for extra devotion makes my connection with Christ that much closer. Not to mention the fact these are the same prayers as those in the Anthologian, which, I can’t stop singing praises about. Overall quality of the book is great, words are readable, and rarely any page flipping is done so focus on prayer is easier. Truly a wonderful book!
We bought one for ourselves and loved it so much that we bought this as a gift, and she loves it too! There’s a lot of great and helpful prayers in here and it’s small in a good way (fits easily in my bags or a man’s pants pocket)! Good quality and will probably buy more for gifts in the future!
This sturdy little book offers all the essential daily prayers and more plus the complete Rule of Pachomios, which I use as my Prayer Rule. It is made to last a lifetime--hard cover, pages sewn and not glued. I have several prayer books, but this one quickly has become my "go-to".
