"This is not the kind of book one reads from cover to cover at one sitting. Our purchase was to have a personal copy of the Prayer Book to use during service. It would make an excellant gift."
"Ah... Joy of my joys light of my life. I love this prayer book. Poetic, often drawing directly from scripture, majestic and gritty. It was written before the concept of dumbing down had even been spawned. Composed by Thomas Cranmer (a far from holy man in many ways which is what makes it such a good prayer book because it deals with the true dross that we really are whilst aspiring to the hope of utter perfection by the grace of God - in the marriage service it is openly declared that a principle reason for getting hitched is the animal desire for a shag). It was written by a man occupying the highest sphere of existence with those occupying the highest spheres of existence in mind on the understanding that what is good enough for a prince is surely good enough for a peasant. Thus it is full of humbling admissions of our want "Oh Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders." the penitent confesses having "with pure heart and humble voice" accompanied the Minister "unto the throne of the heavenly grace..." It's a prayer book for winners."
