About this title

Review:

‘With penetrating insight and meticulous research, Dr Dossey reveals the power of prayer to harm as well as to help. This book will forever change how you think and what you pray for.’
Joan Borysenko, Ph.D.

‘Dossey’s intelligent and passionate work will bring readers closer to the conviction that their personal interventions into the divine order are effective – sometimes too much so.’
Publishers Weekly

From the Back Cover:

From the 'New York Times' bestselling author of 'Healing Words' and 'Prayer Is Good Medicine' comes this compelling exploration of the negative side of prayer. Larry Dossey, M.D., offers remarkable evidence that, just as prayer can be used positively to affect health and healing, it can also be used for negative and destructive purposes. With fascinating true stories, case histories, and scientific analysis, Dossey explores the nature of 'toxic' prayer and teaches us how we can protect ourselves from its threatening influence.

"Brilliant, poetic, scholarly...The imperative is urgent and clear: we must assume a high level of responsibility for our negative and hurtful thoughts, wishes, and prayers for one another."
Jeanne Achterberg, Ph.D., coauthor of 'Rituals of Healing'

"Dossey's intelligent and passionate work will bring readers closer to the conviction that their personal interventions into the divine order are effective – sometimes too much so."
'Publishers Weekly'

"A solid work of scholarship, a thoughtful and significant."
'NAPRA Review'
