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

Small But Good

All the essentials. Perfect size. A prayer rule that the everyday working person can accomplish. Start with this, grow stronger, move on to the Anthologian.

Great version!

For months I was using the modern English translation. I prefer traditional English and was excited to get this version! This is now my preferred prayer book for all my daily prayers.

The hardback is good quality. My toddler keeps grabbing my books and playing with them and no damage so far!

Great little book

This is a nice tidy sized gift for new converts and children due to its compact size and sturdy cover. I really like the traditional English version (vs. modern) as it suits the prayers much better I believe.

KJV prayer book

As a native English speaker in an Anglican country the KJV is the most comfortable way of praying. So this little pocket prayer book is perfect! Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to pray in the liturgical language of the English.
