PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION AFFECTS THE HEALING OF OUR WORLD

This is what I call a "wow" book! It is filled with practical insights of self-acceptance and cosmic horizons. To read it, is to pray it. No matter where you are at in your spiritual journey, you are called forth to the more - to letting go into your best self. Along with quantum challenges, it inspires one to believe that the whole (even of oneself) is more than the parts. Fiand is obviously a pray-er and a healer. While alluding to personal crises and growth, her work could be even more stimulating with the actual sharing of her story.

In depth prayer is a cosmic connection and a healing power.

While presuming a certain readiness to receive Barbara Fiand's deeply personal and strikingly cosmic sharing of her experience of prayer and healing, this book also calls the the reader into a holy and personal prayer relationship with God. In an interdisciplinary manner, Fiand draws the reader into a view of reality that manifests the power of thought and of prayer and the healing of both personal and cultural brokenness. The marriages of the "sacred" and the "secular," the past and the future, the time and space dimensions give birth to an awareness of the interconnectedness of all of life in God. I personally experienced a call to a deeper prayer life that draws all into a consciousness that moves to health and wholeness and holiness. For the serious reader and the brave of heart, I highly recommend this scholarly and personal sharing of the life and prayer of the author.
