commendations
If you haven’t come across ssra.uk yet, you really should. A new resource with bible translations of lectionary readings done especially to be read out in a congregational setting. I honestly think it’s terrific - and the printed versions are top notch. The translations sound clear when read out loud, and - crucially - are printed in such a way that makes them much easier to see and understand. It’s genuinely a people-focussed resource, and I commend it wholeheartedly.

Sunday Scriptures for Reading Aloud has been devised with a number of key objectives that align closely with the Cathedral’s. Perhaps the most significant of these is the use of inclusive language, ease of reading and listening, and saving valuable print resources. All without compromising the quality of the texts themselves. Llandaff Cathedral
Outstanding quality and service. The book was dispatched immediately and arrived within a couple of days via Royal Mail Tracked. I ordered the A4 Standard Lectern Edition which arrived double-wrapped - in a reusable Jiffy bag, inside a sturdy cardboard wrapper. The book itself is great quality. Love the addition of the laminated “this page” sheet. Very happy with my purchase and highly recommend seller. Hayley Bourne Trustpilot 5‑star review
