Short Review: This is an okay introduction to the structure and form of the Episcopal services and the book of common prayer. But I was really looking for how to actually use the book (flipping pages and using it as a devotional) and this wasn't that book. Eventually I found a kindle version of the book of common prayer that had everything written out as a daily devotional so there is no flipping and trying to figure out what you are supposed to be doing.
As an introduction, this isn't bad, but it is in that difficult place of being too basic for anyone that has much background but not specific enough for people that have no background.
