Synopsis:
Through fascinating true stories, case histories, and solid scientific evidence, Dossey illustrates the different kinds of negative prayer--including tainted prayer and malevolent prayer--and explores why they exist and how many of us wield them, often unconsciously, against ourselves and others. He also discusses the ethics of prayer and offers practical suggestions for protecting ourselves from harmful prayer--in a straightforward, highly readable style that artfully blends science and psychology.
