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.

Features

  • Style and form factor similar to other popular pocket-size prayer books
  • High quality cloth-bound cover with sewn binding
  • Archival paper: the same as our Holy Gospel and other hardcover titles
  • Easy to use and navigate

Beautiful prayers to be found. Perfect size for travel. Hard cover quality book. I'd buy it again. There are prayers written by saints as well as liturgy.

The rule of 12 Psalms + Prayers = Blessings

Wonderful

It's so lovely to have a nice pocket-sized prayer book to keep with me. This one has a wonderful selection of prayers and is easy to use and read despite its small size.

Simple yet fulfilling

This is the perfect prayer book. I gave my first edition copy away and I was disappointed with that edition because I always thought in the back of my mind that adding the hours and compline or 12 twelve psalms was what this needed to be complete. I use this every morning and evening and I take it everywhere. ALTHOUGH I wish this edition had all the additional prayers from the 3rd edition Anthologion added into it. The prayer of Saint Patrick, canon of repentance, the morning prayer of the Optina Elders, among others, could and should all be added into the next edition maybe please.
