Prayer: the Mightiest Force in the World - February 2011

7. Prayer - The Mightiest Force in the World. Thoughts for an Atomic Age - Frank C Laubach

95 Pages, Ordered from Amazon

Now, anyone who knows me at all knows I'm not a big BELIEVER.

I was raised a Catholic but since 12 I've only been in church for weddings and funerals.

Having said that, my dad was diagnosed with Lung Cancer recently and had to have his left lung removed...and then a course of chemotherapy and radiation.

I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking "Hey, maybe I should start seeing if there's anything in this whole praying business that might help out my Dad"

I didn't want to mindlessly trot out the usual prayers I'd been taught as a child so I searched online and this book was mentioned as being different from the usual spiel.

I read it, and it was definitely different. It encourages you to make more personal prayers and pray in different ways. It is interesting although dated...keeps mentioning "atomic power"!

Like I said, I'll give it a go and see what happens.

I give this 4 "Halleluiahs" out of 5 as it is an interesting idea.
