Beskrivelse
From a progressive faith leader, a collection of short devotions bearing witness to the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.
When the world went into lockdown in March 2020, spiritual leader Micah Bucey found himself in desperate need of prayer. While social distancing created disconnect, Bucey began a daily practice of writing a “Tiny Prayer” each morning and posting it on social media. Soon, a solitary practice became a communal one, with others engaging and sharing the prayers that touched them most, creating connection across a digital divide.
Over the course of a year filled with fear and faith, protest and possibility, Bucey composed prayers for frontline workers and activists, those lost to illness, as well as wins for democracy. Collecting all 366 poems in one volume, The Book of Tiny Prayer recalls a very particular year, but its spirit is universal, inviting us all to get quiet, name the pain and the joy around us, and recommit to the change required for collective liberation, during difficult times and far beyond.
“These tiny prayers from Micah Bucey’s big heart add up to something far larger than first meets the eye. In the midst of fear, grief, and continuing injustices, these are sincere expressions of the desire to dream God’s dream, with the power to center us, comfort us, ground us, and galvanize us.” ---The Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis, Senior Minister, Middle Collegiate Church and author, Fierce Love: A Bold Path to Ferocious Courage and Rule-Breaking Kindness That Can Heal the World,
