From the Back Cover

Bend Your Knees, Experience Healing

ìOne of the best books on prayer ever written!î-Naomi Judd

ìThis book could not be more timely . . . I recommend you read it carefully.î-Dr. Robert H. Schuller, founding pastor, The Crystal Cathedral Ministries

ìA most helpful book, offering concrete ways in which Godís healing power can be appropriated. It is sure to increase your faith and strengthen your prayer life.î-Dr. Bruce Larson, pastor emeritus, University Presbyterian Church

According to Drs. Chet Tolson and Harold Koenig, prayer can generate peace, power, and health in many people-a triple preventative that guards against anxiety and disease. Faith and prayer can positively improve your well-being and the bodyís ability to heal itself.

In The Healing Power of Prayer, Tolson and Koenig describe the nature of prayer, its restorative benefits, how to organize prayer, and much more. ìMedicine, surgery, and the other methods the doctors bring into the healing process are important,î say these medical and spiritual leaders. ìHowever, you have a responsibility and an opportunity to participate in your own healing through prayer.î

So whether you need healing or just want to stay well, you can make a difference. You can experience the healing power of prayer. Chester L. Tolson, Ph.D., has served as a senior pastor and denominational fund-raiser and is the executive director of Churches Uniting in Global Mission. He is the author of Proven Principles for Finding Funds and lives in California.

Harold G. Koenig, M.D., is associate professor of psychiatry and associate professor of medicine at Duke University in North Carolina. He is the founder and director of the Center for Study of Religion/Spirituality and Health at Duke and has written extensively in mental health, geriatrics, and religion.
