Prayers for the Planet : 365 Meditations, Poems and Earthly Invocations from Around the World

Prayers for Our Planet is a devotional journal for our Earth, deeply rooted in reverence for the natural environment that sustains all of us. Inspired by a childhood steeped in stewardship and awe, this book is both a love letter to nature and a quiet rallying cry. Structured into monthly chapters, each section begins by spotlighting a noted Earth advocate, followed by an actionable eco-tip to spark inspired action. Additional curated reflections invite deeper meditation on our relationship with the planet we call home.

With wisdom drawn from indigenous ecologists like Robin Wall Kimmerer, young activists like Greta Thunberg, and climate change journalists like Elizabeth Kobert, these pages offer daily reminders of what’s worth protecting and suggestions for ways to help heal our home

Becca Anderson is a bestselling author with over a million books sold. Her background is rooted in grassroots environmentalism and was nurtured by preachers and teachers. From an early age, her aunt had taken her own as a young protegee in stewardship of the Earth from a master gardener teaching. Becca Anderson’s prayer books have brought inspiration, comfort, and hope to thousands, bringing them from dark times into positivity and purpose. 

From the Author: In fourth grade, I checked out an organic gardening book by a philosopher whose teachings convinced me that every garden should be pesticide-free. That same passion deepened after reading Silent Spring, and I began to see myself as a young, budding, environmentalist. Over time, my love for the natural world evolved into a growing sense of urgency. Our planet is in peril.

This book is my love letter to Earth, a reflection of the people, places, and teachings that shaped my reverence for the environment. It is my hope that these quotes allow for a moment of reflection each day. It is written in the hope that readers will remember what’s at stake and feel moved to take part in protecting what remains. From conserving water and composting, to planting trees and rethinking how we live, every act matters. Every effort counts.
