One of the most beautiful, useful prayer books ever written,
By Markie Twain "Artist at Large" (Cailfornia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Prayer Tree (Paperback)
Yes. The fact that this tiny, brilliant book should cost 70 dollars is the same sort of crime that makes all higher education so largely unavailable. I know this all sounds hyperbolic, but truly, Michael Leunig is a too largely unsung spiritual master. These prayers are so deep, so lovely, so simple, some, of course, are so funny, that it's saddens me to know how few people -- certainly Americans, as his books are unavailable here -- will ever get to read them, or to get the comfort and perspective this little book provides. Each one has its own teeny, perfect Leunig cartoon that is, in its way, as moving and delightful as the prayer itself.
I remember, once, trying to get this book from some bookseller, and was told, I believe it was by Penguin, that "Americans wouldn't appreciate it." Wrong. So stupidly wrong. If you're at all in the mood for a little sweet inspiration, buy a used copy.
