Prayer Book for Our Planet Marybeth Gallagher

This book is written for a global audience with a powerful resistance to change and for a planet in crisis. Its goal is to promote world peace, abundance, social justice and restore Earth's natural habitats. These ideals are achievable by elevating our global consciousness through a world of healed individuals.

Prayer Book for Our Planet emphasizes healing of self and embodies classical principles of recovery. The prayers align divisive rhetoric and prejudice with world communal gardening, global peace, and prosperity. Watson calls upon IBM's supercomputer by that name to solve world hunger, homelessness, and disease for 820 million people by 2025.

The prayers attack Earth's environmental and societal ills at their root causes and offer reasonable solutions to them. The message they convey is that God created and sustains the universe and that He must occupy a central place in our lives for planetary healing to occur. Thus, Prayer Book establishes God's presence among us in a venerable way.

Scriptural tenets and secular quotes are woven among the prayers, containing passages from Darwin to Gandhi, Aristotle to Shakespeare, and the Book of Genesis to Albert Schweitzer. In addition, the wisdom of spiritual leaders, including Jesus Christ, St. Francis of Assisi, Pope Francis, and the Dalai Lama, is echoed in the book.

We know that through the persistent efforts of an inspired few, much good is done globally. I hope to inspire many others to action. The mission of Prayer Book for Our Planet is to generate a world of committed individuals who embody a new spiritual awareness that promotes world peace, ecological restoration, and equality among men.
