Synopsis

To help guide people in their prayer lives, Walsh brings together the practices of many religious traditions, including the wisdom of Buddhism's "keeping company," shamanism's traveling to other worlds to retrieve healing power for others, and the Chassidim's tradition of using "Kabbalah" to heal the world.

About this title

From the Publisher

Praying for others is something all people do. Whether you are a devout believer, an atheist, an agnostic, or somewhere in-between, at some point in your life you've prayed for another person, probably without even thinking about it. You may have used the formal "intercessory" prayers heard in churches, temples, mosques, and synagogues, or had a spontaneous moment hoping for someone in need to find health, spiritual comfort, or blessing. Praying for Others guides us through many dynamic prayerful ways we can help a friend, husband, child, business associate, or anyone else in need of support. Birrell Walsh draws us into the wisdom of prayer by showing us such diverse practices as energy work (practiced by Jesus), keeping company from far away, entering into unity with God, looking for guidance, learning from hard times and failure, and bringing joy. Dr. Walsh 's compelling and insightful narrative inspires us, while it leads us into and teaches us about these spiritual practices. Finally, a book on intercessory prayer for everyone, no matter what our religious tradition.
