Julia s Book Store astore.amazon.com joyce-meyer03-20 detail 1401091490 Prayer is a constant mental input into our world. Do we pray for what we need or what we want Do we pray to heal or to hurt Healers pray. Terrorists pray. Motivations for prayer are investigated by the Spindrift researchers. One discovery was that non goal-directed prayer-- Thy will be done --produced different test results than goal-directed prayer. A Journey Into Prayer explores the struggles triumphs and persecutions of two spiritual healers Bruce and John Klingbeil who developed scientific laboratory tests to validate the effectiveness of prayer. This father and son team added to the centuries old anecdotal evidence the modern day standard of proof demanded by science and medicine. Spindrift translated some spiritual experiences and religious language into the scientific language and experiments of our times. Spindrift ignited spiritual dynamite. Author Bill Sweet weaves with a rare sense of humor this Spindrift adventure and the outrage it sparked. The name Spindrift is synonymous with what at first seems an oxymoron--the scientific study of prayer. This group s ground-breaking work which has been part of an enormous shift in consciousness was brought forth at great personal cost--the apparent suicides of the father-son research team. Bill Sweet s meticulous account reads like a mystery--one that may never be solved. But regardless of the tragedy the Spindrift research is an important part of the bridge between science and Spirit. May all the good these researchers have done return to them as an enduring blessing of peace. BRAND NEW FROM PUBLISHER 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Tracking provided on most orders.

It bears on the nature of prayer and of healing and of powers of the human mind little appreciated by most people.
