4.0 out of 5 stars The Multiple Roles of Prayer, March 22, 1999

This review is from: The Power of Prayer (Hardcover)

Salwak brings together a variety of perspectives on prayer, and the role of prayer in our personal and collective lives. The work is divided into five major sections, each dealing with a particular facet of the power of prayer. Twenty-seven individuals, ranging from Mother Teresa and Billy Graham to Brooke Medicine Eagle and Shuma Chakravarty, discuss their personal take on prayer. This volume is especially well-balanced by virtue of including individuals from all walks of life--preachers, doctors, teachers, Native Americans, Jewish story tellers, and more. A nice, pleasant read for anyone drawn to the topic.

This review is from: The Power of Prayer (Paperback)

I recently read this collection of essays, and I must say it has drawn me to do research in other aspects of faith and spirituality. This collection looks at prayer from a lot of various points of view. It tends to see prayer in all actions as opposed to an action. It really made me think.
