Prayer, Faith, and Healing When you're physically sick, when you're emotionally ill, your first thought usually is to turn to a doctor, take a pill, let modern medicine make it all go away. But as a... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book has changed my faith in such a positive manner. It's not the "purpose driven" mentality but one of purposeful prayers during different times in one's life, both joyful celebration and the trials and tribulations that we all face. Very common sense and practical.
Beyond the Usual Self-Help Fare

Although writen from a Christian perspective with many Biblical verses, this is a valuable book for anyone who has reached the point in their lives where they have found that it is time to wake up to or to deepen their spirituality, whatever their religious or philosophical beliefs or orientation. Prayer can be the most profound means of finding meaning and purpose in your life and for integrating and transforming your future, and that of the people around you. This is a practical book, so it does not get into the accumulating data about the power of prayer, both for buttressing your own health and well-being, but also for helping those around you. Suffice to say that whatever sceptics may claim, there is plenty of empirical data to support the power of prayer, and to prove that it is far from being simple superstition or neurosis. This is a book that can be savored as a multi-course banquet, or used as fast food in times of need. I can think of few books that are so full of practical advice and inspiration. Highly recommended.
a terrific book!
