Healing Power of Prayer, The List
Price: $12.99 Recent medical and psychological studies show that prayer can relieve stress,
improve your outlook, and mend your body. According to Drs. Chester Tolson
and Harold Koenig, prayer generates peace, power, and health—a triple preventative
that guards against anxiety and disease. Even medical studies claim that faith
and prayer positively improve your well-being and the body’s ability to
heal itself. In The Healing Power of Prayer, Tolson and Koenig describe the nature
of prayer, its restorative benefits, how to organize prayer, and much more. “Medicine,
surgery, and the other methods the doctors bring into the healing process are
important,” say these medical and spiritual leaders. “However, you
have a responsibility and an opportunity to participate in your own healing through
prayer.” While the primary subject is healing mental and physical illness,
this book is not restricted to health matters alone. It is a book about prayer,
addressing the whole subject of prayer: what it is, how to pray, what happens
when we pray, and how to pray more effectively when we have a visit with
God. Book
