description: As an environmental activist in the 1980's, the author felt he should be accomplishing more than just greening his local neighborhood, and conceived the idea of becoming a "spiritual activist,"someone who prays for the whole world in a powerful and systematic way. This book gives the fruits of a fifteen-year journey through the world's religious traditions, learning how to pray for the whole world effectively. The chapters describe various approaches to praying for global transformation including: petitioning Divine Mother and the Holy Spirit, the Native American Four Direction Ceremony, the esotericists' Shamballa Force, and the practice of invocation which he says brings a tangible and sometimes overwhelming cascade of spiritual light. This book will change the way you think about praying for the world.
