Good Shepherd Press has published several books relevant to the Anglo-Catholic tradition. The following books are currently out of print and are not available through Good Shepherd Press, however the Anglican Service Book (ASB) is available on Google books online: The Anglican Service Book: This book is designed principally to be a pew edition in traditional language of the Book of Common Prayer, adapted from the 1979 version as well as other sources. The rubrics of the 1979 book allow for such a work without providing all of the necessary texts. The book is offered to facilitate worship in the traditional language of the Anglican Church. An Altar Missal Edition is also available. You can view the full text of the ASB online. Currently sold out, except for the altar missal. Priest and Priestess, George William Rutler is a new printing of the work first published in 1973. It has a new introduction by the author and a forward by the Rev. Dr. David L. Moyer. “This short study, while not a formal dissertation, is an attempt to uncover some of the hitherto ignored theological implications of altering the male priesthood.” Currently sold out. An Introduction Manual of Anglo-Catholic Traditions and Customs. This manual is a combined effort to preserve some helpful information usually found in tract racks in most Anglo-Catholic parishes. It is not intended to be the last word on tradition, custom or theology. Anglo-Catholic parishes throughout the world may use different prayer books and liturgies, but the pages of this manual give a firm foundation to worldwide Anglo-Catholicism, regardless of our various local expressions of “the Faith once delivered to the Saints.” Currently sold out.

Researched and written by local historian and parishioner, J. Bennet Hill, Jr, it is a 2005 publication of Good Shepherd Press.Currently sold out.
