Excellent book - The book refutes those who don t believe in prayer using a lot of strong empirical evidence. However i believe that it would have been good if he had included evidence from Muslims as that should have brought far stronger and better results.Nevertheless this book is an excellent step in the right direction although as a Muslim i don t agree with some of what is said.Definitely a recommended book on this issue.Thus when proving that prayer works, it also proves the existence of God.

The Power of Prayer. - Summary : An astonishingly thought-provoking book. The evidence cited by the book suggests that prayers can actually work.The author is an American medical doctor, who had a hunch that prayer might help some of his patients. So he searched the medical literature for all the scientific studies about prayer, healing and medicine.He was amazed to find so much research on the topic.In half of 300 experiments, prayer positively affected blood pressure, the healing of wounds, heart attacks, headaches, anxiety, illness generally etc., all living things including animals, bacteria and viruses, and electronic equipment.The author advocates praying not for a specific outcome for a particular person but that God s will be done for that person.Prayers work at a distance. That they work is taken by the author as evidence for the existence of the soul and God, that the mind can exist separate from the brain.References to all of the studies cited are listed in the book.It was such an exciting read, I couldn t put the book down. Brilliant!13 March 2003.

One of the very very best self-healing books! - I ve known Larry (the author) since the old times when everyone in medicine seemed to scoff professionally at his interest in the healing power of prayer. Now, quite rapidly, science is catching up with Larry s insights, and we realize just how powerfully our thoughts, spiritual and otherwise, influence our physical bodies.Larry s book still stands as a classic presentation of the power of prayer in healing. His text offers a very complete presentation of the large amount of research that has in fact been conducted, to prove the power of prayer. And from reading this book, you discover from the studies, what works and what doesn t, which prayer variables are active and which don t matter ... really astounding insights come from this book - plus pragmatic guidelines for how we can all use our own minds and our link with the divine, no matter our particular religious preference, for helping us gain and maintain optimum health - and helping others as well.
