St. Augustine's Prayer Book
Blue Hardback, xii + 370 pages
4 & 1/4 x 6 & 3/8 x 5/8 inches
First Edition 1947 (Seventeenth Reprint 1999)
Compiled and edited by the Reverend Father Loren Gavitt, The St. Augustine's Prayer Book is described by its author as a "book of devotion for members of the Anglican Communion."
The book opens with a discussion of the Christian's obligations and then goes on to its various devotions. Prayers suitable for different times of day and occasions are followed by the order for the Mass (conforming to the 1928 Book of Common Prayer), the Sacrament of Penance, and the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
Other useful devotions include the Stations of the Cross, various Litanies and Novenas, and meditations for the Holy Hour (sometimes called the Watch Before the Altar of Repose).
The St. Augustine's Prayer Book differs from the The Traditional St. Augustine's Prayer Book in that certain aspects of the former follow more closely the Book of Common Prayer, while the latter conforms to the Anglican Missal.

UPDATES ON REPRINTINGS AND REPLENTISHING OF ANGLICAN PARISHES ASSOCIATION’S STOCK
The project of reprinting several titles is already underway, but we have no estimated date for availability. We are hoping to be fully restocked within 12 months. We have had a hiatus of several years in our printing projects because we used our printing budget to produce The Anglican Altar Missal, which was a tremendously expensive endeavor.
Now that we have begun to build up printing funds again, we are in the process of reprinting the red hardback "Pew Copies" of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. They are currently in the process of being bound. We expect to have them in hand very soon, though we still do not have an actual ETA.
We will then have reprinted:
*** The Traditional Saint Augustine Prayer Book
*** The People's Anglican Missal
*** The leather bound combination of The BCP/King James Bible
