I ordered several prayer ropes for the church several weeks ago from Greece on ebay and they came today.

Besides the standard prayer ropes I also ordered a ten pack of wax thread wrist prayer ropes. This is the type of prayer rope my wife wears and I want to give it a try. While I like and have always used the traditional prayer ropes, I am always misplacing them because I have to take it off for some reason and then cannot remember where I put it.

These wax thread ones are waterproof and designed to slide onto your wrist like a bracelet. I am hoping that I can leave this one on during menial tasks and not lose it.

When you receive them they are very small but they are designed to stretch over your wrist. Below is a video I found explaining on how to put them on.

Note:The person on the video says you never need to take the prayer rope off. I hope his point is that you can wear it all the time. Because of course you need to take it off to use it to pray.

A Psalter for Prayer has been out for several years but a new format has been released this year. A Psalter for Prayer is a version of Coverdale's translation of the Psalter but it has been edited to agree with the Greek text of the Septuagint.

A Psalter for Prayer is a great translation of the Psalms but the Pocket Edition makes it even better. The original edition suffers from what I call being home bound or church bound. No, I not talking about the binding. I am talking about the size. The original edition is big and heavy. Great when using it during church services but not something you can carry with you.

The pocket edition solves that proble. Small enough to fit in your pocket, purse, or backpack but the print is still readable.

So if you are looking for a great English translation of the Psalter that is portable look no further.

It is available from the Jordanville bookstore.
