Publisher's Synopsis
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A highly personal commune with the God of one's choice, prayer is a religious practice of connection to a higher deity. Prayer can be communal through worship, and standardized in words and meaning. Prayer can serve a specific purpose of praise or petition, and prayer can be used as a means to seek guidance. While so many reasons and varieties define prayer, most major religions include prayer as part of their relationship with the powers above.
A common practice amongst believers of faiths around the world, this book explores the similarities and the differences of prayer in Christianity, Judaism, Islam, the Bahá'í faith, and Hinduism. Also discussed is the healing and efficacy power of prayer.
