Miracles in the Making is a book which details some of theearliest scientific evidence for the effectiveness of prayer. Itcontains the results of a five-year study on the mechanism of effective prayer sponsored by the Holmes Center for Research in Holistic Healing. The author of this book, Dr. Robert N. Miller, has presented the work in the experimental sections in the style of the journals and magazines in which it was originally published. It is an inspiration for those in the medical profession, scientists and other investigators to recognize and do their own research on the effectiveness of prayer and healing energies in the life of all who want to improve their health and life conditions. The healers who participated in the scientific experiments reported in the book included the devoted Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship International members Olga and Ambrose Worrall, Rev. Alex Holmes, and the Rev. Dr. Richard Batzler.
Today, with the renewed interest in the subject of healing and healing energies, this book presents us with scientific evidence of the effectiveness of prayer and healing energies.
Thank you, Dr. Miller, for sharing with us these outstanding experiments and for renewing our dedication to that which we in SFFI know is possible still today.

A gem of a book, interesting reading, fascinating and wonderfully put together. Well worth reading.

This book includes the results of a five-year study on the mechanism of effective prayer. Dr. Miller says the question of why some prayers are answered and some not has always puzzled mankind. He says prayers are anwered by, not one, but by a number of means: (1) contact with a source of healing energy, (2) by mentally creating a condition whereby the energy which is present everywhere flows into the object or subject, (3) by power of suggestion and, (4) most important, attunement to the source of all power and healing energy by prayer and meditation.

The middle chapters outline research into healing and healing energies by such well-known persons as Olga and Ambrose Worrall, Dr. Carl Simonton, Cleve Baxter and himself; also, he cites studies in effective prayer by Dr. Benson of Havard Medical School. Dr. Miller believes scientific methods and measurements have and will be used to understand what is actually happening in the miracles we call prayer and healing . This should not be seen as substitute for faith, but rather as a revelation that enhances and strengthens our faith. Properly pursued, these experiments - and others like them - let us analyze, step by step, these tremendous and remarkable "miracles in the making." Judie P.
