Product Description "The only way you can really get to know God is through prayer," says author Christopher L. Webber, "and the Prayer Book sets out a pattern that has been used by saints and sinners for centuries."
This guide will help readers-newcomers and longtime Episcopalians alike-get started on the ancient way of praying found in the Daily Office of the Book of Common Prayer. A User's Guide illuminates the theology, history, and practical concerns of worshipping God in Morning and Evening Prayer. With the complete text of these prayer services, in both Rite I and Rite II, along with running commentary, this book takes Episcopalians by the hand as they explore-and pray-the Daily Office.

Useful GuideNovember 13, 2008 This is a great book to use with the Book of Common Prayer. It has highlights, page numbers and quotes to help explain different areas. I'm a newcomer to the BCP and I am pleased at how this book helped.

Review of users guide to the book of common prayerJune 16, 2007 12 out of 12 found this review helpful
My daughter and I both have the book of common prayer but I have the guide and over our vacation time we were able to use the user guide to our advantage. It was very helpful and got us on an organized track so that we could go through the offices effortlessly and understand what we were doing in a matter of minutes. I highly recommend this user guide as a companion to the book of common prayer. Frankly, to have the book of common prayer without the user guide I believe would be a serious mistake. The user guide helps you make the most out of the book of common prayer and I highly recommend it. By the way, my daughter recommends it too!
Be at peace with morning prayerDecember 2, 2005 23 out of 23 found this review helpful
As a newcomer to leading Morning Prayer I found this book invaluable in developing the understanding and confidence that I needed. During Lent I purchased multiple copies of this for my parish so that others would also feel empowered to lead morning or evening prayer. Fr. Webber concisely frames Morning Prayer in its historical context and provides valuable insights though the use of running commentary in a parallel page format throughout the text of the prayer service. By explaining the purpose of each component Fr. Webber removes the uncomfortable sense of not knowing why or if participation includes recitation of all of the various components that comprise Morning Prayer. After reading this book anyone should feel at peace in leading a morning or evening prayer service.
