The holy book is a book held in place of a shield, and is the god book aligned with Saradomin. God books are commonly used for their prayer bonus, something few shields offer. The Holy book is obtained from the Horror from the Deep quest. The book is received from the quest as just a cover, and requires 4 Saradomin pages obtained from Treasure Trails to be completed. The book will not give any bonuses (with the exception of the +5 prayer bonus) until it is completed. An incomplete holy book does count as a Saradomin item in the Hallowed Sepulchre. With 50 Prayer and a completed book, players can enchant unblessed symbols into holy symbols.
Equipping a holy book allows the player to preach and perform ceremonies, such as blessing, last rites, and wedding rites, by operating it (none of which have any effect on the game itself, and are simply recited lines of text), costing 25% of the player's special attack energy.
Lost holy books can be reclaimed by speaking to Jossik, complete with all pages that have been added, for no cost. Alternatively, for those who do not wish to travel to the Lighthouse, Perdu will return them to players for 12,000 coins.
Due to its lack of offensive bonuses and the defensive bonuses being relatively small compared to other offhands, Holy book is among the less popular godbooks, however it can still be useful for some dangerous activities where fighting back is not desired but the prayer bonus or easy reclaimability is advantageous, such as Pyramid Plunder or skilling in the Wilderness (e.g. hunting black chinchompas, mining runite ore, Runecrafting through the Abyss, running the Wilderness Agility Course).
Filling the holy book currently costs 4,038 coins when buying each page individually or 14,592 coins when buying the item set.

Transcript
- In the name of Saradomin, protector of us all, I now join you in the eyes of Saradomin.
- Thy cause was false, thy skills did lack; See you in Lumbridge when you get back.
- Go in peace in the name of Saradomin; May his glory shine upon you like the sun.
- The currency of goodness is honour; It retains its value through scarcity. This is Saradomin's wisdom.
