I have two more recommendations: 1. The Daily Devotional by the Society of St. James http://www.touchstonemag.com/docs/navigation_docs/products_dev-guide.html This devotional is very simular to the the Daily Office is the BCP. Unlike the BCP, the entire canon is reading in the course of 2 years. 2. The Divine Hours by Philis Tickle http://explorefaith.org/prayer/fixed/index.html This is a modern breviery. It is not as rigorous as the BCP or the "Daily Devotioal." Somehow I missed this post. I have two more recommendations:

Using the Daily Office has radically changed my devotional life. Preferring more contemporary language, I started using the 1979 BCP then later switched to the Daily Prayer that is part of the Church of England’s “Common Worship”—I find it much simpler to follow while still keeping the basic shape of the Office. I also highly recommend the devotional guide published by the Society of St. James (the Touchstone magazine folks). It includes a basic form of the Office in each quarterly. The lectionary also includes the apocrypha, but you can omit those as the entire OT and NT are read every two years, so there are no gaps like in the BCP. I’m always amazed how many Evangelicals are closet BCP fans. I still visit the Baptist church I grew up in, and the pastor is a close friend. He confided in me that he uses the BCP for his devotional life, and even uses the Sunday lectionary for his preaching. While the church does not do the public reading of all the lectionary passages, his sermons come from there—if he is doing a series on I Corinthians, for instance, it is because the lectionary is there that month. (Graham, the Anglican Breviary is exhaustive--and exhausting--not for the faint of heart!)

An answer to a pray this is! I've been looking for some guidance in my devotional time, I currently just read the Bible from cover to cover, 2-4 chapters a day. Also many thanks for the translation recommendations :) -Elizabeth Thanks iMonk! An answer to a pray this is!

I will probably sound like I entirely missed the point. I know this question goes against the entire grain of your essay, but curiosity impels me to ask. Which novels did you read that featured the Anglican clergy? Any chance it was the Starbridge series by Susan Howatch? The series probably had a bigger impact on my spiritual life than years of devotionals. Not sure how a woman did it, but she sure pegged how men think, especially men who in essence limp through the Christian life. Thanks for a great article. I have the BCP both on my Palm and as a leather bound version, but I have neglected it much lately. I will have to inculcate it back into my life. Still, what WERE those novels? Hi, Internetmonk!
