5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Book on Christianity and Reiki , November 14, 2006

By	J. Simpson (Woodridge, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Being a Reiki Master and Christian I found this book informative and affirming. Reiki translated from Japanese is 'Universal Life Energy'. And who is the source of that? Ummm...
This book wonderfully explains how Reiki fits in with the Christian tradition of the laying on of hands. It speaks of healing on the emotional, spiritual and physical level.
Bruce & Ktherine Epperly's ecumenical approach to 'the laying on of hands'/Reiki speaks volumes of the healing love of God.

5.0 out of 5 stars Meeting a Need!, February 7, 2007

By	Ronald E. Shonk - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

5 Stars for this book because it's, as far as I know, the only one of its kind. And as are all of Dr. Epperly's books, it is well written and easily and eagerly read. Reiki, a method and practice of hands-on and distance healing prayer, is growing in popularity around the world. It's Eastern roots and flavor may lead some more "conservative" Christians to keep their distance. But that would be their loss. Prayer transcends any specific theology, and God is God, no matter the language one uses in prayer. So this consideration of Reiki practice, and its placement within the Christian context of prayer and worship, is a valuable contribution and an ecumenical bridge-builder. To learn the gentle genius of Reiki itself, you'll need to go beyond this book. But for Christians to get "permission" to do so, here's a place to begin.

5.0 out of 5 stars A happy meeting of East and West, October 10, 2005

By	Patricia A. Farmer (Tustin Ranch, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A shining book! Reiki Healing Touch affirms our deepest intuition about love, that it heals. The authors unearth the deep mysteries of healing energy, not only from the Christian-Buddhist, Mikao Usui, but from the healing ministry of Jesus. East and West meet in this happy book of hope.

--Patricia Adams Farmer, author of Embracing a Beautiful God.
