$8.95

Prayer is the key to healing - not only physically, but spiritually and emotionally as well. Ron Roth's Prayer and the Five Stages of Healing is a guidebook to developing an effective prayer life and integrating prayer into every aspect of daily life.

The first half of this book traces the relationship of prayer to five distinct phases of healing based on the classic stages of enlightenment found in the mystical literature of the world. These stages, known as awakening, purification, illumination, dark night of the soul, and divine union, represent a significant evolution in spiritual life that leads to what the author calls "healing into wholeness".

The second half of the book is devoted to advanced methods of prayer drawn from Roth's many years of experience with prayer and healing. He shares his personal secrets for summoning the energy of the saints, invoking the sacred throughout the day, learning to use silence and solitude, and making forgiveness the linchpin to genuine and effective prayer.

Each chapter in the book also contains one or more prayers and spiritual exercises designed to help you deepen your grasp of the principles Roth presents, and to help you implement them in a meaningful way into your life.
