Summary: SAVE YOUR $
Review: This book promised to be rich in the recently discovered secrets of the prophet Isaiah, a scientific explanation of prayer, and "A Groundbreaking Interpretation of Prayer, Quantum Science, and Prophecy." Not!If you break ground with this book do your self a favor - throw it in the hole and cover it up it's not worth the read. If you want to read about someone else's personal adventures and their preceived importance then this book is for you!

Summary: Information that could save the future of this planet
Review: This book reveals incredible, important, life changing information. It is documented very well and brings reality to the ideas Mr. Braden is trying to get across by his use of examples. I found this to be one of the top three most profound books I have read in my entire life. This book will not speak to everyone, but everyone who is open minded will know how the future that has been predicted can be changed. It is eye-opening in that we can be players in what happens. I found it to be a book that I couldn't wait to see what the next page was going to reveal. People who poopoo prayer won't find the book impressive, but those who have an open mind will find this very thought provoking and credible, especially with specific scientific documentation, for those who consider themselves an empiricist. I feel this book can have a profound effect on the future of the survival of this planet. This book is very motivating to start making a difference by recognizing the possibilities and knowing you can have an active part.

Summary: The best instruction on how to pray EVER!
Review: This Gregg Braden book has changed my outlook on life. I have always wondered where those folks in the New Age movement got their idea to create you own reality. Gregg explains the source of how to pray and from his explanation, one can see how those new-agers misconstrued the correct method of prayer into the materialistic, win-the-lotto advice to create a reality. Gregg tells you how he found the truth in prayer through his journies to Tibet, Peru, Egypt, and the American Southwest. No preaching here. Just a straight-forward, easy-to-understand, story of his understanding. How he started and how he arrived to this point. If you have ever wondered why some prayers are answered and others seemingly are not, then you need to read this book.

Summary: Braden scores again!
Review: This is a great book. It is easy and fascinating to read, yet well researched. The book offers so much hope for improving and changing our world - with fact based spirituality and prayer. Even for those not give to religous pursuit or ideology it is fascinating to read. For those with no need to have facts behind prayer, it just feels good. I felt better about the possible futures facing us after I read this book. After we do everything that is possible to keep ourselves healthy, safe and at peace...our individual and collective prayer is SO powerful.

Summary: If you read one book this year, Read this one.
Review: This is a must read for anyone who cares about the direction our world is heading...For anyone who truly wants to choose world peace...For anyone who has tried to change their own life without success, and wants to know how to choose something different...For anyone who has ever prayed and wondered why the object of their prayer was not forthcoming. It is well written and reads easily, aided by personal anecdotes. It is also well referenced and gives us practical direction based on truths that have been known since ancient times. The prophesies seem to say we are heading for destruction, and we may be....but we have the collective ability to choose that path or not. But we must choose, and Gregg shows us how...how to choose our collective future and our personal one. Bravo Gregg - Well done.

Summary: This book changed my view of prayer and my life
Review: This is THE BEST BOOK ON PRAYER.... EVER~~~~~ Must I repeat this! If you are in the least bit spiritual, then you MUST read this book. If you cannot afford it, BORROW it! Are you sort of getting the impression that I liked this book? EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK! This Gregg Braden book has changed my outlook on life. I have always wondered where the New Age movement got their idea to create your own reality. Gregg explains the source of how to pray and from his explanation, one can see how those new-agers misconstrued the correct method of prayer into the materialistic, win-the-lotto, "create a parking space" advice to create a reality. Gregg tells you how he found the truth in prayer through his journies to Tibet, Peru, Egypt, and the American Southwest. No preaching here. Just a straight-forward, easy-to-understand, story of his understanding. How he started and how he arrived to this point.

Summary: Isaiah Little Prayer
Review: Wait for the paperback. While the author offers some important insights, particularly in his chapter on "the lost mode of prayer", the remainder of the book seems to be a thin wash without depth and substance. Instead the author seems to hitch a ride on a popular wave of ideas without arriving at a new destination. Even his strongest discussion on prayer lacks substantive reference to specific sources. Nevertheless, his findings seem to ring true. He suggests that in our Western traditions regarding prayer we're taught to ASK God for something we perceive ourselves to be lacking (which is fear based). In doing so,we reinforce and cultivate a reality of lacking because the act of ASKING suggests that we do not perceive abundance. He suggests that ancient texts and cultures reveal something about prayer that we have lost... that the universe contains multiple parallel realities and potentials from which we can actually choose (this is also born out in the science of quantum physics). We can crossover from one reality to another. Prayer is the key, but that prayer must be based in FEELING. We must first acknowledge things as they are without judgement. Then step into the chosen reality and experience this reality as though it has already come to pass. This cannot be fulfilled through thought alone. We must feel it as real. Perhaps the author has other such pearls of wisdom to share but is unfortuantely a very unseasoned writer and researcher which weakens the book considerably or leaves it on shakey ground. He uses information that is in the mainstream, like the Bible Codes, which is treated as truth, glossing over the intense controversy surrounding these findings. He also fails to share the ancient texts and other resources from which he seems to have drawn so much of his own "truth", so readers can evaluate it for themselves. Hence it doesn't hold its ground amidst weightier historical research. There are numerous seasoned and perhaps more spiritually matured authors who have brought much fuller experiences to their readers to speed them on the path to enlightenment. Caroline Myss and Gary Zukav come immediately to mind. Of course they don't dabble in biblical history to prove their intuitive truths, and perhaps that is the path this author should endeavor upon.
