      Kindle Edition: Not quite as easy to use as I had hoped. Looking for a specific prayer in the Table of Contents proved to be somewhat difficult and time-consuming. True pagination absent: page search "{p. 384}" is very awkward across Kindle devices (original, Fire) and apps (iPad/iPhone).Haven't used this in my very liberal church yet: want to ask permission first!

      Yet another version of the BCP, this one the first I ever got. It was a gift upon my Confirmation from my Mom...it's teeny-tiny, but very useful for traveling.
    • 5/5
      A wonderful resource even for non-Anglicans.
