Overview
The perfect gift for seekers, the curious, and the spiritually hungry, The Little Book of Prayers now has a stunning new cover and a more prayer bookālike format.
Gathered from holy books and prayer books, from songs and spirituals, spoken traditions and poets, it is an unexpectedly approachable collection of common and uncommon prayers from around the world. The entries, one per page or spread, are chosen for their depth of feeling, beauty of expression, spiritual intensity, and sense of the universal. The book is organized into broad categories of praise, entreaty, contemplation, mourning, and grace; and two indexesāone by authorship, and the other by topicāmake it immediately accessible.
There are familiar prayers, like the Lordās Prayer and 23rd Psalm, which, placed in new context, shine with a renewed beauty and wisdom. Youāll find prayers unfamiliar to many in the West, such as the āOpenerā from the Koran or the four vows of the Boddhisattva, chanted every evening in Zen monasteries around the world. And the surprisingāfrom the āPrayer of the Unknown Confederate Soldierā to the blues of Lightninā Hopkins to the poetry of Rumi.
God help us to live slowly:
To move simply:
To look softly:
To allow emptiness:
To let the heart create
for us.
Amen.
āMichael Leunig
You, whose day it is, make it
beautiful. Get out your rainbow
colors, so it will be beautiful.
āNootka Song
