I have this book! Very happy after it arrived on being on pre-order for a while. It's a great traditional book. Nice that is has both English and Latin too. TAN sure sells some awesome books.
Such a great book! I ordered it immediately after watching your review. Many thanks. I have been to latin masses before and love the experience, but sadly I don't live near any parish now that has one, so this book provides my bridge to honour and celebrate ubiquitously the latin mass whenever i attend the Novus Ordo, even if the mass readings are different......its another way of enriching my holy mass experience by remote to the actual latin masses offered elsewhere afar off, when you can't get to one.....and yes its correct that the Gradual takes the place, or rather combines with the Alleluia acclamation just before the Gospel.
There are large print editions for some books I review. There is a channel Andy’s Catholic Book Reviews that specializes in large print as Andy is vision impaired
Curious: would you happen to know of any similar book (as exhaustive and inclusive of its contents as the Manual of Prayers) with a focus on the modern rite, rather than the traditional Roman Rite?
The closest I can think of is Handbook of Prayers by the same publisher. But I regret to say no such book exists. I really don’t know why Catholic books think Catholics have lost interest in devotions and propers of the mass
What would you recommend for someone who is looking for a daily prayer book that isn't too difficult, but has what it needs to develop a solid prayer life? I have Christian Prayer but it's a bit confusing.
Thanks, this was a pretty good look at this prayer manual. As you said, this book is useless for following the Novus Ordo. I think it's safe to say almost all buyers are going to be traditional Latin Mass Catholics. I don't see very many Novus Ordo Catholics buying this, except by mistake in which case they'll likely return it. So why on earth would they include the Novus Ordo calendar alongside the traditional one? It's not going to help if you're attending an SSPX or some other tradtional chapel is it? I was wondering if it includes JPII's "Luninous Mysteries". You didn't say, but if it does who is that for? This really looks like a lovely volume. I might have purchased one myself. But if TAN is going to pepper this book with Vatican II innovations that don't fit the ethos and purpose of the book, I'll pass. It's $51.57 on Amazon right now, plus shipping. There are better options out there for that kind of money. But thanks for the review.
Vatican II is a valid council of the Church whether you like it or not. I go to both the Latin Mass and the Novus Ordo, so this book is perfect for me. Who cares if it includes post-Vatican II prayers and whatnot? Will you burst into flames if you happen to come across them? Just ignore it.
I’m strongly considering becoming catholic, I read the catechism and did a lot of research. I bought a few prayer books and one of the two missals you mentioned. I’m confused, is this a missal or prayer book or both? Also do missals include what’s in prayer books? Like the keys to heaven and book of catholic prayers? Sorry for all the questions
A missal specifically contains the words of the mass and all the prayers that are for any given feast or Sunday. This is a prayer book with a Sunday Missal included. Missals will have a few extra prayers such as a brief morning and evening prayer and adoration prayers but by no means do they have as many prayers as this book or key of heaven. I pray that you find joy and peace in your journey to the Catholic faith!
Another excellent review. I purchased the Little Office of Baltimore based on your review. This Manual of Prayers is next on my list. I don't like to buy books unless I know what I'm buying. So, your videos are very helpful in that way. Thanks so much!
I’ve been using this book for my daily devotion for a month and love it, especially the rosary reflections and daily prayers.
So awesome! Thanks for sharing

I am always impressed with TAN
I was just scowering your channel for a review of this!!! Now it’s here!!
I hope you enjoy!

I would be curious to see how many collects actually match up
Awesome! I like your prayer book. It has many Catholic prayers, devotions, novenas and so on.
Yes, quite an extensive collection
I love the books you review but I wish there were larger print editions.
There are large print editions for some books I review. There is a channel Andy’s Catholic Book Reviews that specializes in large print as Andy is vision impaired
I've been wanting this so bad, but I really wanted to see it first before buying it.
Hope you have the information you wanted
I don’t have this one - I’ll order it - thanks for this video !
Good luck with it! It is very worthwhile

Since this is a reprint with the new liturgical calendar, they should have included the Novus Ordo Mass, as well.
@@jenlovesjesus I agree. It wouldn’t be that much thicker

@@Kerdy01 not sure if psalms are a must but check my video on “My Daily Psalm Book”
I also have a tutorial on Christian Prayer
I reviewed this book when it first came out a month ago on my channel.

@@SanctusPaulus1962 I never said it wasn’t but thanks for playing. 😉
Sophia Press sells this book as well, i am not sure what is the difference of both of them
It seems to me that it is cheaper but has less material. And is perhaps paperback
Looks awesome!!!
Thanks! Your content has been great Terry
@@ConvincedCatholicism thank you
Would you recommend this or the Manual of Prayers by MTF or the Handbook of Prayers?
Is the binding really terrible on this?
I recommend this over all. Binding is fine
Thank you! You're doing great things!
Just ordered mine
Hope you enjoy
Fr Lovasic’s Treasury of Prayer is quite good
I will check it out

@@ConvincedCatholicism ohhh okay that makes sense, thank you for the reply.
And thank you for the kind words, God bless!
It has been my experience that Tan publications fall apart in about 30 days. Very poor binding.
Maybe not 30 days but the binding is pretty poor

That is definitely good to hear. I buy the books blindly to make sure the viewers know what they get
