I’ve heard good things about the Publican’s Prayer BookThe website says the new edition will be out in April and I’ve been thinking of getting it. How does it compare to the Jordanville for those that are familiar with both?

Are there any other prayer books anyone would recommend?
 
The Publican’s Prayer Book is awesome! I had a copy of it at one point, but gifted it to a friend of mine (can’t remember who).

Are you looking for specifically Byzantine prayer books, or other Eastern traditions as well (Maronite, Coptic, Chaldean)?

Let Us Pray to the Lord Vol. 1 is very good. I used it for years.

EDIT: There’s also Byzantine Daily Worship if you’d like more liturgically oriented prayer.

Thanks for the links. I’m definitely looking at more Byzantine options. I’m trying to find something my husband and I both won’t mind using- and if I officially become Catholic- I’ll be Melkite.
 
Thank you for the link. Is it mostly just for Divine Liturgy or does it have other prayers as well?
 
It has the Little Hours, Vespers with Divine Liturgy for Pascha (not Vespers per se), propers with music for Sundays, major holy days. common of the Saints, Panakhyda (regular & for Bright Week). It doesn’t have Compline or Mesonytikon though.
 
I use this one, which has pretty good contents and is also nice to look at:

It looks nice. I like that it has some short prayer rules listed.
 
Well, the real prayer book is, of course, the Psalter, and the praying of it in its entirety every week, according to the Church’s rubrics… And then there is this one, which I have been using for 20-some years now from HTM - They have the best translation of the Psalter, btw, and this book has Preparation Prayers, plus Morning Prayers, and Small Compline, plus Akathists etc:

And they have the Ascetical Homilies of St. Isaac the Syrian…

This is the new translation…

I own the HTM small pocket psalter. I didn’t realize their other one had other prayers and akathists in it.

It is the blue “Prayer Book”… [eg Not a Psalter] The $18 one…

And I just saw that they also sell the Octoechos for $125…

I haven’t visited their site before - God the Prayer Book at our Church…
