Here is the book that gave the English-speaking world its common prayer. Thomas Cranmer's 1549 masterpiece, now rendered in clear, present-day English, invites you into the rhythms of daily devotion that have sustained countless believers across the centuries. Morning and evening prayer, the litany, the holy communion, baptism, marriage, burial, and the Psalms—all are here in their original order and spirit, faithfully translated for today's reader. This edition preserves the beauty and depth of the classic while removing archaic language, so you can pray with understanding and ease. Whether you are new to this tradition or returning to a beloved companion, you will find a timeless guide to walking with God. Part of The Founding Texts Library.
