Prayer Books

Of interesting note, the Old Believer Prayer Book's morning prayers are also shorter and have a longer evening prayer rule. Both have places to add canons into the daily prayers which I have found rather nice.

Maybe Greek and Russian Old Believer practices were made with people like me in mind: I can barely focus on getting up in the mornings, let alone praying. :)

I'm a bit more partial to the HTM prayerbook, because this was the prayerbook presented to me by my Spiritual Father on the occasion of my baptism, so I've been using it all these years. Also, I find the prayers are more readable than the Jordanville prayerbook (being a Grecophile may have something to do with it as well :wink: ).
