This is one of those books you never really finish. You read it, and use it continually. This will be with me, my bible, and a few prayer books for the rest of my life. Full review below.

I had debated picking this up for a while. I really wanted to use it, but was hesitant. I typically do not prefer physical books, and had been using an app for the Daily Prayers for a few years off and on. I was drawn to this physical book because it is the Commonwealth Edition. I took the plunge after picking up and reading The Prayer of the Church: A Guide to Morning, Evening and Night Prayer by Father Robert Taylerson, which is an older edition of edition of this booklet called Guide to Morning, Evening and Night Prayer: How to Pray the Prayer of the Church. This is a book I am thankful I picked up, the cost with shipping to Canada required my saving up my reading money. But it is worth it.
This volume is beautifully made. Nice leather cover. Read board cover pages at front and back. It has gold gilded pages, and 6 satin ribbons (Red, green, yellow, maroon, purple and rose), and black and red head and tail bands. The description of the book is:

And we are informed that it includes:
• Proper of Seasons
• Proper of Saints and Holydays
• Commons
• Morning and Evening Prayer
• Prime / Terce / Sext / None / Compline
• Psalter
• Lectionary
• Appendices
It has a total of 2033 pages, and “Prayers Before and After Divine Service” on the inside from Endpaper. The book is a beautiful and stunning volume to hold. Well made, very well planned, and the highest craftsmanship. The binding, stitching around the edge of the cover, and even the very flexible spine, all excellent. But it is the contents that matter most.
And those contents bring our prayers into sync with others around the world. Praying the hours is something I have always wanted to attempt, but other than some intermittent success with an app I have not done so. This volume is something I have been using for weeks now, and do not foresee and end. It is a book I treasure, a book I use daily and will continue to do so.
I have read many excellent volumes from the Catholic Truth Society, from simple biographies, to papal encyclicals. Of the over 200 books I have read from the CTS this is now my favourite!

A sanctuary in the ordinary, DW: DO invites readers into a rhythm of prayer that sanctifies the every day in the English Tradition. With its timeless prose and reverent structure, this volume guides individuals and communities through the sacred rhythms of morning, evening, and night prayer. Each liturgy is a tapestry woven with scripture, tradition, and personal devotion, creating a space for an encounter with the divine in the midst of daily life—a priceless companion for spiritual seekers seeking to infuse their days with grace and purpose, truly a "gift to be shared".

Super ecumenical prayer book, because it’s primarily the BCP. It’s for the Ordinariate, which are Anglicans and Anglo-Catholics who entered into full communion with Rome. Great synthesis of fantastic Protestant devotions and traditions into the Catholic Church. A true treasure. I know of an evangelical pastor who uses it daily, which says something. Watch a guide on how to use!
