Does anyone here have "The Book of Common Prayer of the Syrian Church" by Bede Griffiths? I am thinking of getting it, but it is a little expesive so I wanted some opinions first.
Thanks

The book is excellent, and a very good literal translation of the Syriac. Unfortunately, the translation does not necessarily fit with the Traditional music. Overall, I would recommend it for personal use and as a base to translate the text into lyrics more fitting to the Syriac tone.
