Publisher's summary

Insight, Transformation, and Truth - The Power of Prayer

"All prayers are heard and answered," says Caroline Myss. Can that be true? As you come to understand the original role of prayer in personal transformation, you begin to realize that it could be no other way. In The Power of Prayer, Caroline Myss invites you to experience prayer at its deepest and most profound level - as a direct channel into union with God.

"When we pray from a place of inner stillness, our thoughts and words become sacred," Myss explains, "and we can hear the answering call of heaven."

Join her to begin a revolution in the way you pray, as you explore:

  • How and why we pray - moving beyond the stage of "petition prayer" to a place of true openness to guidance from a higher source
  • How humility allows us to bypass the ego and connect directly to the divine
  • The transformational journey - why a willingness to sacrifice the familiar and enter the unknown puts you on the path of grace
  • Prayers for healing, for the morning and evening, navigating difficult times, and expanding your capacity to act from a place of love

There comes a point in our lives when we are called to pray - when we see that our rational minds cannot make sense of the mystery of life, and we realize that we need another way. With The Power of Prayer, Caroline Myss offers new insights into the most important tool available to us on our spiritual journey - and for calling upon the grace that will never fail to guide and shelter us.

The Voice of Truth I didn't want to Hear

This book taught me how to pray . At 66 I thought I knew how to pray...I do now. I'm at a life altering crossroad in my life and because of Caroline's guidance I'll get through this challenging period just fine. If it's true results you genuinely desire this book is for you.

Disappointed

Would you try another book from Caroline Myss and/or Caroline Myss?

I felt like this person was doing a stream of consciousness type of off the cuff monologue. It was disjointed and she missed the point for me.

Would you be willing to try another one of Caroline Myss’s performances?

Yes. But it needs to be a lot better.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Power of Prayer?

I'd have her use an outline, type out what she wanted to say, and read it without ranting.

Myss on the power of prayer in today's world

Myss traverses the subject of prayer with passion and purpose. She highlights that it is a sacred practice that can affect change personally and collectively. She does not shy away from explaining how we seem to have rejected prayer because of religious associations, basically throwing the baby out with the bathwater. In addition, she also talks about how many often misuse or misunderstand prayer, using it in a superficial sense to ask for more 'stuff'. Myss, in her signature style, puts the ego in its place and demands the upmost respect for the sacredness of prayer development. There are a few suggestions regarding how to pray here and there but I actually like that Myss didn't go into much detail with the hows. Prayer is a personal journey after all and Myss seems to acknowledge this by advising rather than instructing.

Powerful and Beautiful

I choose to listen to my beloved teacher Caroline as opposed to reading her material because of the power of her delivery. She is challenging and provoking, and she absolutely shakes me awake both with her unapologetic clarity and the Grace she transmits. This talk completely shifted (matured) my relationship with prayer and my Faith. The prayers she shares are forever more changed in their meaning and depth in my heart.

Awesome Insight 2

Important clarity and understanding about prayer, also were many of us are getting it wrong.
Also other people may criticize her style, I embrace her directness and what they consider her anger.

Not for me

I thought I would be getting guidance on the power of prayer but instead just hear an angry tone in her voice. Like disgust or contempt. She speaks roughly and down to her audience, like she's holier-than-thou. I held on hoping it would change but it doesn't. disappointed and shocked really.

Go deeper to meet your soul

I loved this book and listened to it many times! It’s a book that you need to digest slowly to soak in all that is being taught and when you come back to it time and again you will gain more information and expansion of your own soul. You will begin to see the world differently and if you incorporate these teachings into your daily life you begin to have a deeper compassion for the world and the people around you. Caroline Myss has so many rich teachings to share with the world, I’m forever grateful to have found her. She has profoundly impacted my life and my spiritual journey!
