Synopsis

Prayer is the key to tapping into the healing energy of the Divine. Yet for many people, prayer has been reduced to a rote practice that has lost its basic meaning and efficacy.

In his long-awaited first book for an ecumenical readership, internationally renowned spiritual healer Ron Roth teaches his unique approach to prayer as energy medicine. The Healing Path of Prayer explains in detail the connection between healing, faith, and prayer. Roth shows you how to find your own path to prayer in a way that connects with God's healing energy. As Roth explains, you can use this energy not only for physical healing but also, perhaps more significantly, for healing emotional and spiritual wounds that may be at the root of physical maladies.

The Healing Path of Prayer gives you specific guidance in setting up a daily healing prayer practice. Through a series of simple but effective exercises and rituals, Roth shows you how to celebrate your own sacraments and become a mystic in the course of your everyday life. Each chapter offers a new, higher level of prayer, enabling you to acquire more advanced techniques of focus, intention, and insight.

As Roth revitalizes many tired, traditional prayers with his fresh and inspiring reinterpretations from original scripture, he also recounts the dramatic story of when he discovered his healing abilities, as well as true cases of healing in which he has participated.

The Healing Path of Prayer is a blueprint for a truly democratic spirituality. Roth's instruction on how to pray and establish a daily practice of meditation will lead readers into a vital path of everyday mysticism and personal power.

From the Back Cover

Advance praise for The Healing Path of Prayer

"This deeply insightful book explores the majesty and mystery of healing. Anyone interested in the spiritual side of life will benefit from this inspiring work."
--Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Healing Words, Prayer Is Good Medicine, and Be Careful What You Pray for...You Just Might Get It

"In reading this magnificent book, you know immediately that each story Ron shares is authentic, separating the meaning and power of prayer from the fictitious and superstitious notions that often clutter the truth. He directs us into the power of these experiences by weaving personal instructions on how to pray using meditation techniques with directions on how to use our breath to draw us into the interior of our minds, our hearts, and our spirits. The techniques in this book are both ancient and modern, universal and personal. Moreover, they are effective."

"I have personally witnessed the power of prayer Ron describes as well as his God-given ability to heal others. . . . Were someone to ask me if Ron's healing power is authentic, I would have no other reply but yes. And if someone asked me to describe in one word the significance of this book, only one word is worthy of that reply: truth."
--Caroline Myss, Ph.D., from the Foreword
