The Healing Path of Prayer: A Modern Mystic's Guide to Spiritual Power
Prayer is the key to tapping into the healing energy of the Divine. Yet for many people, prayer has been reduced to a rote practice that has lost its basic meaning and efficacy.
In his long-awaited first book for an ecumenical readership, internationally renowned spiritual healer Ron Roth teaches his unique approach to prayer as energy medicine. The Healing Path of Prayer explains in detail the connection between healing, faith, and prayer. Roth shows you how to find your own path to prayer in a way that connects with God's healing energy. As Roth explains, you can use this energy not only for physical healing but also, perhaps more significantly, for healing emotional and spiritual wounds that may be at the root of physical maladies.
The Healing Path of Prayer gives you specific guidance in setting up a daily healing prayer practice. Through a series of simple but effective exercises and rituals, Roth shows you how to celebrate your own sacraments and become a mystic in the course of your everyday life. Each chapter offers a new, higher level of prayer, enabling you to acquire more advanced techniques of focus, intention, and insight.
As Roth revitalizes many tired, traditional prayers with his fresh and inspiring reinterpretations from original scripture, he also recounts the dramatic story of when he discovered his healing abilities, as well as true cases of healing in which he has participated.
The Healing Path of Prayer is a blueprint for a truly democratic spirituality. Roth's instruction on how to pray and establish a daily practice of meditation will lead readers into a vital path of everyday mysticism and personal power.

This is not the stuff you learn in Sunday School or church. The author is a Catholic priest (or similar) who was invited into a more charismatic picture to perform supernatural healing. Stories like these make you think a second time about what constitutes reality.
I read this for a class, which was very helpful for delivering a new way of thinking about healing prayer coming from a background of Christianity. I would recommend this book to any open-minded Christian who is curious about healing through prayer or remodeling their understand of prayer.

This is a valuable book about effective prayer and spiritual development.
The author, a priest, healer and teacher, describes his own process of development, while being honest about his own problems and drawbacks.
Each chapter concludes with healing meditations or prayers. I for one have been inspired by this book and will now search for others he may have written.
I strongly recommend this book to all spiritual seekers,
