The Green Devotional
Active Prayers for a Healthy Planet
by Karen Speerstra

This 253 page stunner really opened my eyes to our planet, our plight, and what we as inhabitants on Mother Earth can do to help her grow and heal. This boisterous hero tells us in many enlightened voices how to wake up, seize the day and become responsible global citizens. I thought the layout of this book was fantastic, the way the author divided the categories by elements, and had so many striking quotes for each section. The 16 closing prayers in the back touched me so deeply and were very helpful.

I think the thing that so woke me up and made me pay attention was the energy of passion, concern and hope that came through so clearly in this awesome champion. I also loved the personal stories and the heartfelt suggestions and information throughout this helpful find. I would recommend this much needed guide to anyone concerned about our planet and what we can do to help. Thanks Karen, for taking on this immense labor of love.

Love & Light,

Riki Frahmann

Green Devotional is a collection of short readings, sayings or quotes on environmental themes, organized into categories such as "Earth," "Air," "Time," and "Space." The selections are not organized by date, so you can dip into this book for inspiration whenever you'd like. There are also four pages of recommended further readings.

The author has written introductions to each category that do a good job of setting the stage for the readings to follow. Overall, I found the selections to be interesting and varied. Most of them provide a source to go along with the original author, but some are presented with only a name, which would make tracking down the rest of the selection difficult.… (mehr)

Sort of a thematic collection of quotes--one theme being, obviously, environmentalism; but also other progressive causes relating to human rights. The mixture of old and contemporary sources was a nice approach. We get not just the usual mixture of Classical and Native American sayings, but also Desmond Tutu and Rachel Carson. Well worth dipping into from time to time.
