"One of those rare 'religious' books with enormous general appeal, Harvard diary records Cole's own soul-searching from 1981 to the present day. He shares with the reader his ongoing questions (which don't always have clear answers), his struggles, insights, observations, and experiences on issues that occupy his mind and heart." - Front flap.

This is a daily prayer book for the Ordinariate – those former Anglicans who have recently become a distinct part of the Roman Catholic Church. In creating the Ordinariate, Pope Benedict recognised the treasures that Anglicans brought with them from their own tradition and this book is replete with the riches of Anglican patrimony. It contains material from the Anglican tradition, adapted according to the Roman rite including: • an order for morning, evening and night prayer throughout the year • spiritual readings for the Christian year • the minor offices • calendar and lectionary tables For use throughout the English speaking world, this unique volume will fill an immediate need.
