- 1928 BCP: Traditional Christian Worship for Modern ManAm proud to be a part of the tradition that this beautiful volume stands for. It is the BCP of our Parish & I've read it through via reference literally hundreds of times. We use it together with other texts as the basis of our Christian lives, significantly it goes hand-in-hand with the Holy Bible for us. It guides us through all seasons of our life. It was there with us at Christenings & Communions, Confirmations & Weddings, Holy Days & Saints Days, Feasts & Fasts, through the past two generations & I for one will not abide it being abandoned in favour of new age nonsensical revisionism. Many Parishes tried other Books of Common Prayer but found them too base. Find this one most appropriate because; without being too pushy or stuffy it preserves to an adequate extent the hallowed language of a bygone era when God's Holy Worship was revered and set aside. It still is by many of we Anglicans. The BCP is useful to all Christians interested in expanding their devotional life & understanding of the Holy Scripture & Church. Term; "Common" in title refers to union of execution, unity of command, communalism, organization a mindset around which the business of a healthful parish is carried out in the world for God's Glory. It does not mean common as in profane, as the reader will see its liturgies are anything but. Have carried my copy with me in war & peactime & used it in study & reflection, in the times I need most to find myself & re-connect with my maker I find it invaluable. This book will certainly enrich your life. Makes a holy & glorious addition to any collection. User Review: - 1928 Book of Common PrayerThe books were received in excellent condition and were shipped quickly. The price was reasonable. Since these have been hard to find in the past it was great that they are available through Amazon. I ordered 25 previously and was very pleased. Rev. Robert Baker User Review: - 1928 Book of Common PrayerProduct is newly published by the Oxford University Press and well protected for shipping. A large number of items were ordered and Amazon managed the deliveries from various sources well. Very pleased with the outcome. User Review: - A life recoveredPurchasing this was recovering a valuable chapter of my life that ended when the Episcopal church, within a few years in the '70s-'80s, forswore their beautiful, traditional prayer book, hymnal, and calendar. User Review: - a gift to the spiritualThe language of this prayer book inspires deep meditation. We used it twice a day as our in-home church services and it has deepened and enriched our lives.
