Review Quotes: "This thoughtfully composed prayer book offers spiritual grounding for both personal care for creation and environmental ministries. In these pages one finds a fervent call to pray with all of creation so that stewardship of the earth growths from a spiritual depth that is expressed through one's entire self, body and soul. This Book of Hours with its four-week cycle of prayer is the perfect companion to the spiritual call of Pope Francis' encyclical, Laudato Si', and invites its readers into a living and deepening relationship with all creatures that inhabit this planet we share, our common home."
