"Plekon has given readers something new and interesting to consider here. And that is the beauty of this book, its greatest benefit: Plekon has lifted the curtain and unveiled a diverse array of prayer practices that take place every day. These prayers are not so much said, but lived in the crucible of daily life." -- Trinity, [Michael] Plekon is a prolific author with a gift for clear, lively, and quick moving as well as compelling prose. Readers of The Sword will find interesting the author's Carmelite connection. . . . Plekon examines extensively the lives of social activists best known for their generous commitment to the service of those on the margins of society. Plekon make clear that liturgy and formal prayer are practiced and cherished by himself and in the lives of most of those whose example he describes., Uncommon Prayer indeed! Only theologians as steeped in the mystical tradition of the Orthodox Church as Michael Plekon can write with theological depth and spiritual insight on how to pray uncommonly in common experiences of life. Whether you are a theologian, a hermit, a poet, a person going through the darkness of the soul, a teacher, or, listen to this, a pirogi-making cook--there is a prayer for you. This book is a gem of spirituality, and I wish that every believer and even nonbeliever can have the blessing of reading it or, better, praying with it., "A skilled teacher and guide, Michael Plekon leads readers into the experience of lived prayer with the depth of a scholar and the wisdom of a seeker. Plekon's book brilliantly moves beyond the valuable yet limited tradition of academic studies on prayer to present us with a new and compelling look at the rich diversity of approaches toward increased awareness of and communication with the divine. Accompanied by poets and authors, pastors and ministers, theologians and preachers alike, Plekon lucidly helps to renew the scholarly and practical definition of prayer. Regardless of what prior views about prayer and praxis one brings to this text, Uncommon Prayer invites all readers to expand the horizon of their experience and risk an extraordinary encounter of the divine in everyday life." --Daniel P. Horan, OFM, author of The Franciscan Heart of Thomas Merton, "To the surprise and delight of readers, Michael Plekon's Uncommon Prayer is not only original, but pushes the boundaries of the common definitions of prayer. . . . Above all, prayer is a struggle to become truly human, and thinking about 'who I am' in the chaotic universe governed by God is a worthwhile and noble pursuit. We have Michael Plekon to thank for guiding us on the journey of uncommon prayer." -- The Cresset, "Many books on prayer, even for a more academic audience, are rather thin on contemporary authors. This book does a fine job of looking carefully at a number of important, contemporary theologians (in a broad sense of this term) who write on this topic. This should be an important book for scholars, students, and thoughtful readers in the field of spirituality and spiritual theology. I think that many scholars and students in the various pastoral and practical theological disciplines would find it interesting and worth reading." --Alan G. Padgett, Luther Seminary, To the surprise and delight of readers, Michael Plekon's Uncommon Prayer is not only original, but pushes the boundaries of the common definitions of prayer. . . .

Regardless of what prior views about prayer and praxis one brings to this text, Uncommon Prayer invites all readers to expand the horizon of their experience and risk an extraordinary encounter of the divine in everyday life., Uncommon Prayer seeks to make sense of prayer beyond the explicit traditional forms we are accustomed to in private or done in public worship. . . . Without jettisoning the need for quieting our souls in private and public worship, conversing with God with and without words, Plekon reminds us that prayer constitutes the daily activities of our lives as we live them out oriented to God., " Uncommon Prayer indeed!

God is present in all of our lived experiences and resides in family, neighbors, colleagues, and strangers." -- SpiritualityandPractice.com, "A skilled teacher and guide, Michael Plekon leads readers into the experience of lived prayer with the depth of a scholar and the wisdom of a seeker.
