A BOOK of UNCOMMON PRAYER
100 Celebrations of the Miracle & Muddle of the Ordinary
10th Anniversary Edition
by Brian Doyle
To begin 2026, I decided to use a rather 'out of the box' devotional book, somewhat in jest perhaps of the Book of Common Prayer, used in many churches in the Protestant faith. Doyle seeks the ordinary events, people, and places in our lives that we often don't stop to pray for in the midst of healing and intercession. Some of the prayers are thankfulness for the smallest of things. The author doesn't hesitate to 'call it like it is' while remembering that love transcends all. After a break for Lent, I continue in this inspiring little devotional.
At times, when I perceive an uncommon prayer of my own, I have interrupted Doyle's prayers, attempting to use his style in my verbage. Those days are marked with red. Each day includes a summary haiku of my writing, a photo illustration (often internet sourced when not my own), and my own daily prayer embedded in the praying person.
