I've been seeking a copy of Byzantine Daily Worship (following leads in this thread). Alleluia Press is out of stock/out of print and every other lead has dead-ended...except for the store that has a single copy at $200.

Does anyone know of a reasonably-priced source that still has them in stock?

Thanks!

I wish. I was looking for Sayedna Raya's "Face of God" via Amazon and it only had one copy going for $99.99. No guarantee that its new anyways. Man, why did he have to be sooo popular?! :P

Slava Isusu Khrystu!

I never realized that the nice Ruthenian Greek Catholic Benedictine Monks had a bookstore at their monastery. That is good to know. I suppose that they must have that great prayer book - "Byzantine Book of Prayer" as printed by the Ruthenian Greek Catholic Metropolia of Pittsburgh. Now that is a great prayer book that I would not be without. So handy and convenient. A real asset to anyone's spiritual library!

I really think that the Ruthenian Greek Catholic Metropolia of Pittsburgh is to be highly commended for making that beautiful prayer book available to us!!!!!!!!

God Bless,

John Doucette

Is this what you're looking for? http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchRe...Worship&x=0&y=0

No, but thank you. That's an extract, I'm seeking the entire book.

Earlier this year, I got a softcover copy of "The Face of God" from Eastern Christian Publications. You may want to email them directly (I haven't been able to find it on a brief tour of their website).

As for BDW, unless you have luck with the other vendors, I think you'll have to pay whatever people are asking for. I'd suggest alternative books which have the relevant prayers (e.g. the Ukrainian Catholic Divine Office book). What are your exact needs?

And if the recommendations above don't turn up a copy, go direct to the source: Alleluia Press (PO Box 103, Allendatel, NJ 07401, USA).

There is the 'Little Raya' which is what some call the

BYZANTINE BOOK OF PRAYER
(English, hardbound) w/Divine Liturgy of St. John and St. Basil, Molebens, Acathist, Parastas, Tropars/Kondaks, private prayers and Devotions, 6½ X 4½. $18.00 Ten copies or more $15.00

Thanks for all the leads (and I have the Byzantine Book of Prayer on order). Alleluia Press indicates BDW is now out of print and the only source I found wants $200 for their last copy.

One of the children in this family use to post on here. Looks like they may have the Seeing with the Eyes of the Gospel http://www.marketworks.com/StoreFrontPro...275&i=232956919

Thanks, have to wait until late Feb for it to arrive though!

Why the heck don't they simply keep DBW in print. Anytime I have seen BDW it is in the range of $100+ through used outlets or eBay. there is obviously a demand for it!

I agree!

I believe there are some copyright problems with Byzantine Daily Worship.

Fr. Serge

Alleluia Press has plans to reissue Raya's Byzantine Daily Worship. I work for a major corporate bookseller and had hoped to use my employee discount to purchase copies for a relative and myself. I phoned Alleluia Press last week and told the gentleman who answered that I work for N. Books and that I had a customer who wished to purchase two copies of BDW. This gentleman kindly informed me that the book is currently out of print, but Alleluia Press is working on republishing it. They hope to have it available again sometime next year.

Frankly, I agree that Byzantine Daily Worship never should have gone out of print to begin with. I would love to see the three publishing houses who are guardians of Archbishop Raya's written legacy (i.e., Alleluia Press, The Eparchy of Newton/Sophia Press, and Madonna House Publications) enter into a collaborative arrangement to ensure all of the Archbishop's writings remain in print. They should also combine their resources to promote the availability of the Archbishop's books in more bookstores and parish and cathedral gift shops.

Part of the problem is Alleluia Press does very small print runs. The third printing of BDW in 1995 was only 2000 copies. The 2001 print run for the Archbishop Jospeh Raya edition Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom was only 1000 copies.

Fr. Deacon Lance

Does the demand for BDW justify the conservative investment?

Is it that they face limitations with distribution?

Terry

I heavily agree with you. I'm a Latin with a rising interest in the East and everyone keeps recommending his material, but I can't find it anywhere!!!

I wish I could get a copy of the Byzantine Daily Worship for under $200 but as that is not the case I found a happy alternative option. Eastern Christian Publications carries the 1996 Daily Office and Liturgikon of the Ruthenian Recension under the name Let Us Pray to the Lord vol. I (Office) and II (Divine Liturgy). Each book costs $30 SO in the end I only ended up spending $60 plus $6 dollars shipping and now I have good resources for prayer.
