5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best of this genre

I had been feeling a spiritual void for awhile and this book was just what I needed. Years ago I got started on my spiritual quest with a book called "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" by Joseph Murphy. Until now, that has continued to be my favorite, although I've read a multitude of books in this genre since including those of Wayne Dyer and Rhonda Byrne. This book has similar messages but more succinct and easier to understand. Butterworth uses parables from the Bible but more from an historical perspective rather than a literal one . He often references the teachings of Jesus but does not preach. What I liked best about it was that it is very spiritual but not religious. He dismisses the idea of an anthropomorphic, judgmental God and reminds us that the Divine Power is within and part of us all. It's a quick read and his messages really resonated with me.

Am buying this book for friends it's so good! To find out late in life that I've been pretty much going through life with the wrong set of attitudes towards healing of all kinds is sad, I'm grateful for the information it's bringing me now! If you know someone that's not big on prayer or God, this book may change their minds...and life!

Mr. Butterworth presents the practice of prayer in a way that is different than my Christian up-bringing. At 50+ I am now ready to read this. I certain would not have been able to understand, ponder, and reflect upon this book any earlier in my life. This book challenges my assumptions about prayer, God, and my view on the presence of God in me. I would recommend this book to persons who are dissatisfied with their religious practice, but are deeply spiritual. The author does an excellent job of positioning spirituality, faith, and belief in God so that any person, with any faith tradition, may read this and learn from it. This book is truly non-demominational for all persons...including those who question the presence of God in their world. I can say that those persons who are devotely entrenched in their religion may not like this book as the author makes assertions for which you may not care. So, I challenge all to read this with a VERY OPEN MIND. You will find this book either fits you perfectly, fits a little big that you have to grow into it, or you may chose to discard it because you don't think the author is "right". This is not about being right, it is about growing your relationship to the ONE. Enjoy! I certainly will be re-reading this.
