Prayer Books

[JM]

I'm looking at ordering a prayer book from CPH and I've narrowed it down to two.

Treasury of Daily Prayer

Lutheran Prayer Companion

Which one do you use and which one would you recommend?

Yours in the Lord,

Both look good to me. The Treasury of Daily Prayer is more expensive but it has Luther's small Catechism in it, and daily Scripture readings.
I might purchase that one if you already don't have Luther's small catechism. I like that it has everything in it.

Ordered the Lutheran Prayer Companion this morning.

The Lutheran Prayer Companion is the most complete and useful prayer book I own and I own a few of them! (Blessed be God, Valley of Vision, Book of Common Prayer, 1928 & 1962, St. Augustine's Prayer book, Lutheran Book of Prayer, Orthodox Prayer, Piercing Heaven, etc)

Sections include: Prayer Preparation - Morning and Evening Benediction - Table Prayers - Prayers for Every Day of the Week - Times and Occasions - Vocation - Intercession - Repentance, Confession and Communion - Catechism - Weather - Cross and Tribulation - Praise and Thanksgiving - Sickness and Dying.

If you want a prayer book look no further, this title has everything in once place.

For reference, I also really love the book Reading the Psalms with Luther as both a prayer book and devotional.

I bought a copy and agree...working through it now. The quality is amazing.

Nice! yeah, I still really like it. I don't read from it daily, but generally a few times a week.

Some others that are useful; Starke's prayer book, Lutheran Prayer Brotherhood prayer book (I have yet to pick one up), Monastic Diurnal. The only one of these I don't have is the Brotherhood book. I also have TDP and it is likely the easiest to use. The Diurnal is small and travels well.
