Daily Prayers
The Little Red Prayer Book: Prayer books let today's Christians join with Christians past, present, and future to worship the Lord, make requests of Him, and have our minds aligned with His. This is the standard prayer book in the Antiochian Archdiocese.
The Jordanville Prayer Book: This is another popular Orthodox Christian prayer book.
Orthodox Prayer: This site, a ministry of St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Greenville, South Carolina, offers help elevating the mind and heart to God in praise, in thanksgiving, and in petition for the spiritual and material goods we need.
Daily Scripture Readings
Daily Scripture Readings: This calendar of daily readings features a selection from an epistle and a gospel. The readings are almost always connected. Discerning how presents an opportunity for dialogue with a spouse, child, or friend.
St. James Devotional Guide: A unique devotional guide, which includes daily gospel readings, takes readers through the New Testament every year and the entire Old Testament every two years, pays special attention to the Book of Psalms as a normal component of daily Christian prayer, and is respectful of ancient, ecumenical lectionary traditions. Additional commentary can be found online here.
Lives of the Saints
The Place of Lives of Saints in the Spiritual Life: Hieromonk Damascene explores how important reading the lives of the saints was to St. John Maximovitch and encourages us to do likewise.

Iconograms: “Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep” (Romans 12:15). With Iconograms, do so beautifully.
