Summary: Ron Roth's work completes the healing circle
Review: Ron Roth's teachings complete the healing circle. Where other leaders in the energy medicine field focus primarily on what causes disease, Ron teaches us how to move from disease to health. His beautiful voice and loving energy guide you to a communion with the love of God that is healing in itself. His meditations and practices are tangible tools that assist us in reclaiming our divinity.

Review: There are Twelve Chapters that are so full of wisdom and sound advise that I do not know where to begin.

1 In the Beginning.. 2 God Is Light-Energy 3 Prayer Without Ceasing 4 The Lord's Prayer: A New Perspective 5 Healing Sickness and Suffering 6 The Five Stages of Healing Toward Wholeness 7 Congruency in Prayer:Listening to God and Following Through 8 Everyday Mysticism 9 New Sacraments as Daily Ritual 10 The Holy Spirit as the Energy Manifestation of God 11 Prayer as Blessing and Decree 12 Toward a Daily Mystical Practice

He also has 2 Appendix that deal with prayers people use and Healing prayers. For me the Chapter that was what I needed so badly was Seven. Congruency In Prayer: Listening to God and Following Through.

In this chapter I was also reminded that what we ask for we do get, and that we need to write down our prayer needs and re-read them to make SURE what we seek is what we are SAYING. He gives an example that I well understand. He had left the priesthood and was out on his own for the first time in decades and a single man at that (smiling), when he realized one afternoon that he ws so hungry. Yet, when he looked in the cupboards and refrigerator he found little there. So he sat down, became still and prayed. But he would also be reminded after he recieved the answer that his initial response was more like the story (which caries but has the same meaning) of a man in a flood on top of his house praying to be rescued. Three boats come to his rescue but he sends them away saying "God will rescue me". Only to drown and apprearing before God and asking why God had not rescued him, he is reminded that God tried. Three time. Mr Roth in turn found himself being led almost pulled to go to a women named Sally. He is honest and admits that this was a woman that was considered a grumpy complaining sad sack type. But no matter how hard he tried, he could not avoid going to see her. When he did, she WAS the answer God had for Ron Roth. "She led me to the kitchen. There on the table were several shopping bags, all filled with groceries. One big bag was packed with nothing but roasts and steaks." Then he ends up sitting in his car he was thinking.... "What's the lesson you've learned from this?" God is saying. "Well," Ron says "I needed money to buy food." He is then reminded what he actually asked for. "Oh, I needed food". God reminds him that we need to cut out the middleman and realize when we are hungry for food we should expect food.

The lesson is also that we need to ask and then follow through. That when we pray for more income to meet our bills we need to be open to where God leads us. In fact Mr Roth points out that if the job is in another city or state and we stomp our foot and say "no no God I don't want to move", that we maybe need to be more specific and say "God you know how I do not want to move, so please if possible help me find a job around here within driving distance." That we also need to be fully open and realize that the people whom so many people see as hero's have been people who listened to that inner guide I call God, and they moved, they opened themselves to life and in doing so God was able to use them. And for me these are not always FAMOUS people but people like my dear friend Bea Brickey whom I write about on my Faith Hope Charity page on my webpage. A women who was always open and TRUSTING of God.

Mr Roth reminds us that TRUSTING God is also a big part of the equation. He reminds us of the Gospel of Mark where we are told "Whatever you pray for, believe you have it and it will be yours. BUT when you pray, you must first forgive" Mr roth reminds us that in the Lords Prayer we are reminded of "Forgives us our transgressions (sins) as we forgive those who have transgressed (sinned) against us.

Mr Roth also shows how the meditation prayer way crosses all ethnic and even most religious beliefs. It is a book that I think has something for everyone.

Summary: Healing Path of Prayer tops my list of meaningful books!
Review: With a prominently Christian perspective, Ron Roth weaves together wisdom from all the world religions, to teach how you can build a meaningful spiritual practice and prayer life.

This book opened up a whole new world to me regarding prayer and healing. I highly recommend it if you want to learn how to make prayer a more vital and tangible part of your life.

I really like how inclusive he is of all religions and also how progressive he is in his relating Jesus' teaching about prayer.

This book is very easy and enjoyable to read. I have already given it as a gift to several people who also really enjoyed it. If you like this one, I also strongly recommend Agnes Sandford's book, The Healing Light.
