5.0 out of 5 stars Short is a misnomer, 22 Mar 2006
This review is from: Benedictine Daily Prayer: A Short Breviary (Hardcover)
This is a very comprehensive Breviary and a lot of work has gone into it. It parallels the old Latin/English Monastic Diurnal in many ways, whilst additionally including texts and readings for the office of Vigils, (known in other modern Office Books as the Office of Readings). Those wanting to pray the full range of the Hours for days of the week, seasons and Sanctoral cycles will be very satisfied with it, as long as they are happy with the NRSV and Grail Psalms used here. Of course this is by no means just a modern words version of the old Diurnal I have mentioned, it follows the lines of the modern Liturgy of the Hours, although it does not include the Psalm prayers found in some versions of the Liturgy of the Hours or Prayer of Christians.

I presume the word "Short" in the title is in comparison to fuller versions in use in some monastic houses, but as far as I am concerned this breviary could not be much fuller. Unless one is happy to carry a bulky breviary, this is not a very handy volume for use when travelling. It would be helpful if the compiler would consider producing a less bulky version, or perhaps a two volume version, one with the Vigils and one for the other Hours. Useful alternatives would be to break it further into volumes for the seasons minus the Vigils or with separate seasonal Vigils volumes, as long as thin Bible paper is used so that they are much thinner volumes. I would also welcome a version useful for travelling similar to the Collins Morning and Evening Prayer in the same pocketable size. I would see this as a priority, giving users that much more than the fare in the Glenstal Book of Prayer, excellent though that is. Collins Morning and Evening Prayer is good as it is, but a more Benedictine version would be better, hopefully also including the Benedictine prayers to be found in Benedictine Daily Prayer.

Being as comprehensive as it is, I would be inclined to drop the word "Short" from the title in future printings. Apart from that , I think that it well deserves the high marking I have given it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Short Review of a Life Changing Book, 7 Jan 2008
By Yellow Delaney (England, UK) - See all my reviews
I have been using this for over a month now, and carry it everywhere in my bag on my travels to and from work. I disagree with the reviewer who says it is too bulky. It's only slightly bigger in thickness than Morning & Evening Prayer.
Everything about this book has been carefully prepared. The quality paper is creamy coloured, not white. The print is in red and black. The soft leather cover should ensure the book lasts a while. The NRSV and Grail psalm translations make it contemporary. The litanies and readings (not just biblical, but patristic as well as more recent) are always appropriate for the feast or season.
Above all, the superb directions throughout the book guide the user with ease to the various sections, and there are five coloured ribbons to bookmark pages.
All seven daily offices for all the year are included, plus Sundays First Vespers.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent breviary, 3 Sep 2007
By Connor Caple (Lancs., UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been using this breviary for a month now and have found my prayer life deepening as a result.

As well as the ordinary Divine Office for Sundays and weekdays covering the four week cycle, it contains (as mentioned by another reviewer) daily scripture readings and extra readings for feast/memorial days. Classic instructional/devotional texts from the Early Church Fathers right up to those by John Paul II are included. The extra office forms are also given for Martyrs, Apostles, Marian Feasts, etc.

The six indexing ribbons mean that you can easily set up every page you'll need for the day and flick quickly between them.

I highly recommend this breviary to anyone interested in following the Divine Office in english as a layperson.
