The Book of Common Prayer is one of the most influential books in history. First published in the reign of Edward VI, in 1549, it was a product of the English Reformation following the break with Rome. For nearly five centuries, it has formed the order of worship for established Christianity in England. More listeners have heard these prayers, it is said, than the soliloquies of Shakespeare. As British imperial ambitions spread, the Book of Common Prayer became the primary instrument (at least as much as the King James Bible) of English culture, firstly in Ireland in 1551. When the Puritans fled to America in 1620 it was to escape the discipline imposed by of the Book of Common Prayer, yet the book came to embody official religion in America before and after Independence, and is still in use. Today it is a global book: it was the first book printed in many languages, from north America to southern Africa, to the Indian sub-continent. In this Very Short Introduction Brian Cummings tells the fascinating history of the Book of Common Prayer, and explains why it is easily misunderstood. Designed in the 1540s as a radical Protestant answer to Catholic "superstition," within a century (during the English Civil Wars) radical Christians regarded the Book of Common Prayer as itself "superstitious" and even (paradoxically) "Papist." Changing in meaning and context over time, the Book of Common Prayer has acted as a cultural symbol, affecting the everyday conduct of life as much as the spiritual, and dividing conformity from non-conformity, in social terms as well as religious, from birth to marriage to death.

Fantastic Mount especially on rough Roads
Robust and discretely positioned mount. This mount is the real deal. It is by far the highest quality most stable mount that I've ever had in my Tacoma pickup. I also really like that it's positioned closer to the steering wheel in instead of in the windshield, making it easier to view. Very highly recommended!!

Perfecto Product!!
I rarely write reviews, however on this product I need too. This clearly is a pricey phone mount, but after reading so many reviews I went for it & purchased. After opening, I immediately could see & feel the quality of material used. Installation was surprisingly easy & quick to my Tacoma. The mount is very firm, sturdy, very adjustable, perfectly designed product. For as costly as this was, I have absolutely no regrets! Totally can recommend this product to anyone with a Tacoma within the stated production years. So as so many others have said accurately in reviews, I am beyond satisfied even with the cost in mind.

Perfect fit for my 2018 sr5 Tacoma. Great quality!
Extremely well made. Doesn't rattle or slide off. Holds the phone tightly. Finally found a phone mount that works great for my Tacoma (2018 sr5). I highly recommend this product.

5 Stars with 1 Call-Out….
SOLID built like a tank! Really like the all-metal design. No vibration on the road and minimal if any off road, extremely stable. 360 adjustability = endless options on positioning your phone. Overall a good buy considering fit, form and functionality as compared to the less expensive composite holders that shake move and rattle (Drives me nuts). The ONLY negative…. I have a pro max iphone with a case and there’s no way one-handed operation works to insert and remove the phone into the holder. You can use one hand to adjust the angle and positioning but not otherwise. An OFI for OffRoam, incorporate a tension adjustment into the design for ease of insertion and removal of the phone (without breaking the bank). Taking all things into consideration the pros far outweigh the cons! Best unit out there for Gen 3 Tacoma owners.
