Earth Prayers: 365 Prayers, Poems, and Invocations from Around the World

Beautiful, beautiful book! I'd borrowed a copy from a friend and needed my own. Poetry, prayers, and musings from across the globe and many spiritual practices. I cannot say enough good things about this gem.*Not a daily reader, but there are some suggestions by day in the index.

A wonderful collection. A go to resource I use all the time.

Thank you Elizabeth and Elias for compiling this wonderful book of earth honoring prayers. I've used it many times to find an appropriate opening or closing to classes or other gatherings where a moment of earth gratitude and awareness was called for. In fact, I've used it so much that I lost it and need to buy another one! It is also a rich source of prayers to use for personal spiritual work, prayers that help slow me down enough to remember the sacredness of the natural world. Even if I'm hard at work in the city and can't be physically present in some of nature's more healing places, at least I can remember to feel the earth beneath my feet, and to honor her. It is a great book just to pick up and browse through, and contains prayers that are ancient and full of the energy of thousands of our ancestors, and prayers that represent a new awakening to our lost heritage. An earth bible for earth lovers! By the way, I've heard rumors of a Volume II. Is it true and can I purchase it here, or elsewhere?

This book uses diverse prayers for Mother Earth and bring us into stronger connection toward care, wise use, and respect for Creation that we live with. Good resource to start or end the day!

Earth Prayers: 365 Prayers, Poems, and Invocations from Around the World by Elizabeth Roberts and Elias Amidon is similar to Life Prayers in its format and content. This book relies more heavily on well-known authors and poets such as Walt Whitman, Hildegard of Bingen, Rumi, Wendell Berry, Thich Nhat Hanh, Henry David Thoreau, and many more. Because the theme of the earth is rather narrow (while at the same time being so very large), the first half of the book seems to run together in its similarity despite the editors’ attempts to categorize poems by themes. The chapter on animals was disturbing for me, an empath who is an unwilling omnivore and former vegetarian, yet others might find it reflective and appropriate. Overall, though, I found the book to contain many beautiful and thought provoking works.

Earth Prayers has been in our household for years. It was my husband's favorite poetry book in his collection. His copy was worn, dog-eared, and marked in. Several selections from this book were read at his Celebration of Life. I no longer have his book, as I gifted it to the pastor who officiated his service, who is also a former student. He tells me often how much he loves the book. I have since purchased a copy for myself, which is also becoming very worn. I have given this as a gift to others. This is a beautiful book of life-affirming poetry. I wouldn't be without it. Read at random, that's the beauty of this kind of book.

I received my anticipated book today, I must say it is a beautiful book with very special humble prayers and poems.Excellent customer services from the seller!Thank you 🙏🏻

This is my 3rd copy that I’ve purchased. I lost one during a move. I gave away another as a gift. I’m keeping this one. I use it many times during the month for approximately 20 years now. It’s my go to prayer and meditation book.

Eintauchen in eine andere Welt und zur Ruhe kommen beim Lesen dieses Buches.Nachdenken, Emotionen, FriedenIch liebe dieses Buch welches ich bereits vor ueber dreissig Jahren geschenkt bekamaber irgendwie beim Umzug verlorenging. Ich bin so froh es mir wieder gekauft zuhaben

Such nice book full of very grounding texts, I really enjoy reading it to calm my anxiety.

This was bought as a gift for someone whose philosophy, I hoped, would be in complete agreement with the title. Apparently, the recipient enjoys the selections in this book very much. The book is left out where it is handy and referred to frequently. If you feel a connection to Mother Earth this is the book for you.

I am so pleased to have found this book.It really is a wonderful collection of prayers celebrating the earth and our connection toit.Ifelt it was something to connect with.There is a valuable message in this book about we are so connected to and dependanton this connection.

A beautiful collection that speaks to the heart and mind.
