Description
This Pocket Prayer Book contains all of the common daily prayers as prayed in the Orthodox (particularly Byzantine) tradition. This translation by the monks of the Holy Transfiguration Monastery is widely used in the English-speaking Orthodox Church in North America and elsewhere.
The book includes Morning Prayers, Mealtime Prayers, Small Compline (used for Evening Prayers), the orders for Vespers and Matins, the Divine Liturgy, various festal and daily hymns, Paschal services, several Akathists and Canons, and prayers for Holy Communion. No home prayer corner is complete without a prayer book, and this is an ideal one.

A beautiful prayer book!
I love this prayer book — with a couple of caveats. First of all, the book is beautiful in form and content — the translation, page layout, typeface, and binding are all superb, as befits a book for a holy use. Functionally, however, a prayer book needs ribbons which this book lacks. Note: this prayer book, at nearly 5x7 inches is portable, but not pocket sized. It also wouldn’t be my first choice if I had to choose just one prayer book. It lacks prayers for various needs, a commemoration of saints, and a commemoration of the living and the departed. I do use it everyday, but alongside the St Tikhon’s Monastery prayer book, which contains the aforementioned prayers.

Beautiful Prayer Book
This is a beautiful prayer book with depth and richness throughout. I also love its compact size, which makes it great for carrying to work in a briefcase or for travel. It has a sturdy composition and is very well made. A great prayer book overall.

Amazing
I use this primarily for the Compline, the canons and the Akathists. The illustrations are beautiful and keep me focused on prayer. The manufacturing quality is supreme

Great
I owned this book but lost track of it when I moved abroad. I recently got this and started using it again. I love the akathists and canons. The line drawing iconography and black and red printing is so dignified.
