Customer Reviews

Bound to fail!
This could be a most useful volume and is certainly something that was neeeded, both for use at a daily celebration of the Eucharist in church or for reading at home. However, as has happened before with books from this particular publisher,it was been much too tightly bound and will not lie open and flat on a table, a prayer-desk or one's lap. This is a fundamental disadvantage in a book of this kind. What a pity! Should this volume run into a second printing or edition, let us hope that the fault will be remedied.

A beautifully written book
I can confirm the previous review that this book is bound too firmly however it is a beautiful book and should last for years. I use it daily for personal use (not Eucharist)and the readings for every day throughout the year, excluding Sundays, give a lesson; a psalm extract; and a gospel. I find this just right for my own use. The sections on the major festivals are grouped separately yet even with this minor change to the progress through the book I do not find it confusing unlike Daily Prayer (Common Worship: Services and Prayers for the Church of England) which I have ceased using. I use this Lectionary together with prayers from the Book of Common Prayer: Pew Edition: Bourgeois Prayer Book and the writings marry together very well. To put a positive aspect upon the tight binding of the book I reflect firstly, that the book is otherwise beautifully made and that secondly, the literal holding of the book in the open position is, I find, a good aid to being present.
