The Book of Tiny Prayer | Free Book
From a progressive faith leader, a collection of short
devotions bearing witness to the first year of the COVID-19
pandemic.
When the world went into lockdown in March 2020, spiritual leader
Micah Bucey found himself in desperate need of prayer. While social
distancing created disconnect, Bucey began a daily practice of
writing a “Tiny Prayer” each morning and posting it on social media.
Soon, a solitary practice became a communal one, with others
engaging and sharing the prayers that touched them most, creating
connection across a digital divide.
Over the course of a year filled with fear and faith, protest and
possibility, Bucey composed prayers for frontline workers and
activists, those lost to illness, as well as wins for democracy.
Collecting all 366 poems in one volume, The Book of Tiny Prayer recalls a very particular year, but its spirit is universal,
inviting us all to get quiet, name the pain and the joy around us,
and recommit to the change required for collective liberation,
during difficult times and far beyond.
“These tiny prayers from Micah Bucey’s big heart add up to something
far larger than first meets the eye. In the midst of fear, grief,
and continuing injustices, these are sincere expressions of the
desire to dream God’s dream, with the power to center us, comfort
us, ground us, and galvanize us.” ---The Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis,
Senior Minister, Middle Collegiate Church and author, Fierce Love: A Bold Path to Ferocious Courage and Rule-Breaking
Kindness That Can Heal the World,
Named one of the Best Spiritual Books of 2021 by Spirituality &

“Just as one tiny speck of glitter lights up an entire face, each of
these radiant tiny prayers sparkles with huge hope. They are jewels of
honest introspection, poetic gifts born of a year of turmoil,
collected as a trail of glitter crumbs, lighting up our way back home
to the soul.” —Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie, Founding Spiritual Leader of
Lab/Shul
“Prayer changes things; this was central to my childhood faith
training. And the older I get, the more the world turns in ways that
cause me deep concern, the more I believe it to be true. These tiny
prayers from Micah Bucey’s big heart add up to something far larger
than first meets the eye. In the midst of fear, grief, and continuing
injustices, these are sincere expressions of the desire to dream God’s
dream, with the power to center us, comfort us, ground us, and
galvanize us for the sacred work we must be doing in order to heal our
souls and the world. This collection is a very specific record of a
very specific year, but the sense of yearning and hope will inspire
lives of love and justice for years to come.” —The Rev. Dr. Jacqui
Lewis, Senior Minister, Middle Collegiate Church and author,

“Perhaps tiny words are best to describe this book. Beautiful. Honest.
Raw. Courageous. Tender. Tough. Transforming. Holy.” —Rev. Nancy
