Orthodox Daily Prayers — The Complete Rule for Morning, Evening, Communion and the Akathist

Were you handed a prayer book and told "just pray this", with no one to explain what you are reading? Orthodox Daily Prayers: The Complete Rule for Morning, Evening, Communion and the Akathist, by Nicholas Volkov, brings together in one volume the daily prayer rule of the Orthodox Church, with a short introduction before each prayer.

What the book contains

• Morning prayers, prayers during the day, evening prayers and prayers before sleep, with practical directions for saying them
• Preparation for Holy Communion and prayers of thanksgiving after Communion
• The Akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos (in Slavonic Акафист Пресвятой Богородице), in clear English
• A four-week plan to build your prayer rule step by step

Who is it for?

For new converts who need guidance, for cradle Orthodox who want a simple modern edition, and for those preparing for their first Communion. Each prayer is introduced: why it exists, when it is said and what we ask of God.

A handy size for the prayer corner or a bag, and a fine gift for a baptism or reception into the Church.
