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 indexes--one by authorship, and the other by topic--make it immediately accessible. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere are familiar prayers, like the Lord's Prayer and 23rd Psalm, which, placed in new context, shine with a renewed beauty and wisdom. You'll find prayers unfamiliar to many in the West, such as the \"Opener\" from the Koran or the four vows of the Boddhisattva, chanted every evening in Zen monasteries around the world. And the surprising--from the \"Prayer of the Unknown Confederate Soldier\" to the blues of Lightnin' Hopkins to the poetry of Rumi.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGod help us to live slowly: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTo move simply: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTo look softly: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTo allow emptiness: \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTo let the heart create \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003efor us.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmen.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e--Michael Leunig\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eYou, whose day it is, make it \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ebeautiful.
