Broad Collection of Orthodox Prayers and Meditations

This book contains a wide range of prayers from the Orthodox tradition; morning and evening prayers, prayers before and after meals, and others for specific situations. It’s structured in a way that can help introduce someone to the rhythm of Orthodox devotional life. While I wouldn’t recommend any book universally without knowing someone’s background or context, I’ve personally found it helpful in grounding my own prayer life. Some pages also include printed icons, which is a thoughtful touch. The contents include Morning Prayers, the Service of Vespers, Small Compline, the Salutations to the Theotokos, Prayers to Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Small Paraklesis, Mealtime Prayers, the Paschal and Lesser Hours, Preparation for Communion, Thanksgiving after Communion, and A Safeguard for the Soul—brief daily meditations for each day of the month by St. Nikodemos of the Holy Mountain. It also includes many prayers for specific occasions such as for loved ones, the departed, daily tasks, those in distress, for purity, for guidance, for the sick, and for travelers.
