Is there any Liturgical prayer books that anyone would suggest (not including the Book of Common Prayer)?

That would be Pot On Wheel's department. He's currently on suspension. Bandit

From what I know, most liturgies, whether Catholic, Anglican, or Orthodox are based on St. John Chrysostom's and maybe one or two others, with some leaving some parts out and others having the whole package deal. Not my cup a tea, really, though.

I googled "Liturgy of St." and came up with the following:

POW has been invited back on (as of several days ago), but I haven't heard from him.

i think I can relate. I don't have a book reference, but you can check out the info/link that's helping me.

"The Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites "welcomes those of the faithful who, by special vocation, undertake to live, in the world, an evangelical life of fraternal communion imbued with the spirit of contemplative prayer and apostolic zeal according to the example and teaching of the Carmelite saints." (OCDS Rule) Secular Carmelites come from all walks of life. They are business owners, public servants, clerical staff, professionals, homemakers, retirees, students, men and women, young and old, married and single. Each one trying to respond to God's call to "meditate on the Lord's law, day and night" while working, raising families, etc."

"Secular Carmelites usually belong to a local community. Where such communities exist they gather once a month for fellowship, prayer, and the study of Carmelite spirituality. When there is no community nearby, a Secular Carmelite may become an Isolate and will maintain contact with the order through the Director of Isolates for their province."

One of my favorite books (which probably dooms it on this site but I will share it anyway if someone cares) is The proper distinction between the law and the gospel by CFW Walther. It was written in the 1880s and made the gospel more valuable to me as I better understood it. You can get it from Bethany Lutheran College Bookstore at 1-800-944-1722. I am not a Lutheran but I still think that this book brought the gospel into clearer focus than any other publication I have read outside of the Bible.

As C.S. Lewis wrote in Narnia, "It is not our story."
