Getting Started with the Daily Office in the Household: A Prayer Guide for Individuals and Families
Getting Started with the Daily Office in the A Prayer Guide for Individuals and Families is a clear and practical guide for people who are looking to begin praying regularly in the historical manner of Christian prayer.
Fr. Michael Jarrett walks the reader through the "how" and "why" of every part of the Daily Office prayer services in a very casual manner helping the reader to see that "formal" prayer does not have to be cold, rigid, or dull in order to be respectful and formative for the soul. Additionally, an entire section is devoted to praying as a family with children.
Included is a liturgy for Morning Prayer, Mid-Day Prayer, Evening Prayer, and Compline for each day of the week. These services are based on the Anglican Church in North America's 2019 Book of Common Prayer but are consistent with any Anglican/Benedictine practice.
PLEASE There is a paperback and a coil-bound (lay flat) edition.

I’m a Baptist so my familiarity with the traditions of my liturgical brothers and sisters is pretty limited. This book functions as a great introduction and primer to the use of the Daily Office in the home and is written in such a way that even a noob like myself can understand it. For those from non-liturgical traditions like myself, this book is a great resource for building better and richer habits of weaving Scripture and prayer into everyday life.
