Amazon.com
With the coming of the second millennium, editors Elizabeth Roberts and Elias Amidon felt that words of hope might be the perfect antidote to the fearful rumblings of doom, apocalyptic predictions, and computer-induced chaos. And so the duo sent out invitations asking people to offer a written message or prayer to the future. The final result is a body of work that offers a compelling and positive vision for the millennium. Contributors include Reverend Desmond M. Tutu, Poland's Lech Walesa, Thomas Moore, Judy Chicago, Alice Walker, death row inmate Jarvis Jay Masters, Rabbi Zalman Scater-Shalomi, and poets Gary Snyder, Mary Oliver, and Diane Ackerman.
The collection is organized around relevant themes, such as "Creating Communities of Peace," "For the Children," and "This Holy Earth." Each offering is no more than two pages long--brief enough for a quick dip whenever inspiration is needed. Nonetheless, this is collection with spiritual sustenance, a book that many will benefit from carrying close to their hearts in the years ahead. --Gail Hudson
Kurzbeschreibung
In Prayers for a Thousand Years, Elizabeth Roberts and Elias Amidon have collected hundreds of wishes, blessings, stories, and challenges-almost all written especially for this volume-from a diverse group of distinguished international contributors. Spiritual teachers, poets and activists, political leaders, youth, artists and visionaries-all are joined together here for the first time, sharing their personal appeals for peace and understanding. Organized around eternal themes-such as creating communities of peace, reflections on politics, economics, and morality, and our holy earth-this book is a profound and lively collection of empowering visions for our common future and a celebration of the infinite variations of universal hope.

Format:Taschenbuch
People today are recognizing the need and the benefits of incorporating more prayer and devotion into their everyday lives. This book, along with the editor's previous works, Earth Prayers and Life Prayers provides people with a multicultural array of poems, prayers, chants, blessings, and other types of inspiration to further enrich your life.
This collection focuses primarily on the coming millennium. The editors actually sent out a call to others to contribute their thoughts to this volume. So, unlike previous works, this collection is focused mainly on the words of people living today, whereas the other volumes, contained wisdom from the past as well as the present.
What makes this book even more precious, is that world leaders such as Desmond TuTu and Vaclav Havel, stand here side by side with other great thinkers, poets, religious leaders and visionaries. But also tapped, are relative unknowns, nuns, alternative communities, community leaders, singers/songwriters, poets, teachers, etc. providing a huge melting-pot of profound thoughts and wisdom.
These reflections are subdivided in categories such as: hope for the future, opening hearts, this moment in time, creating peaceful communities, one about children, the earth, solidarity and justice, politics, economics and morality, parables of our time, and we the people.
Instead of dwelling on decay and apocalypse, why not see the hope the future has to offer an enlightened civilization? This book is a breath of fresh air amidst the glut of negative material out there concerning the turn of the century. To the editors...thank you for providing us with continued inspirations.

This Project was the most thoughtful, insightful, motivating peace of art I've come across in a long time. I was almsot ready to give up hope being tangled in this world wide Web, but I'm relieved to see a brighter, more hopeful, and I'm looking for ward to this Celebration of Resolution soon. THANK YOU's both!! Love Spring~

Prayers for Many Ages - For the World, and for Daily Life
7. September 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
I have found this a wonderful collection to use at mealtime with adults in our family, or friends; but I have also found that many of the prayers speak to our teenage son. They are oriented toward hopes for healing in the world, but also contain prayers to sustain us in our daily living as we seek to be of use. I plan to use the book in my Unitarian Universalist ministry this year, both with adults and with young people. Many of the prayers are very moving.
