The Science of Prayer

In addition to offering solace in times of need, prayer has been used throughout human history to help people tread the often difficult path of spiritual understanding, healing and integration. Although primarily directed at a Christian audience, The Science of Prayer has universal appeal. First published in 1926 and long out of print, this little gem offers both timely and practical guidance on the purpose and practice of prayer, as well as the role of both concentration and meditation in the quest for spiritual unfoldment and inner peace.
