The Power of Prayer

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.

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.

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.

Usually a big fan, but Caroline was so negative

I have read Caroline's books and listened to her audio for over a decade. I've heard people say she is too harsh, too angry and critical sounding. I could overlook these for the meaningful messages she delivers. This time, I can't even get through the audio because she sounds like she's yelling at the listeners/audience, like she thinks we're all terrible and ignorant. The message is totally lost.

Excellent!

Loved it! Thank you Caroline you are an awesome mystical teacher. I enjoy every lesson.

The forgotten power of prayer.

It was sometimes difficult to follow her thoughts and explanations since she is so brillant, but if you stay with it you make the necessary comnections. I am eager to listen to this book again. I can't imagine anyone else reading her books.

Keep Going

There is a lot of useful information. But you got wade through some of the negative bitter feelings that Carolyn is caught in. We’re all human. And Caroline herself says she’s not a perfect human in other talks. I had seen some other reviews calling out the negative tone that the book/talk goes to sometimes. It does have some really beautiful and insightful knowledge here. And it doesn’t stay negative. Keep going and about a third of the way through that negative tone dissipates. Thank you again Carolyn Myss for your words.

The Power of Prayer

I love listening to Carolyn , I feel as though I'm in her audience this is a very powerful audio ,.
Thank you for praying for me

C.M. is one the greatest gifts the world has.

The narration keeps one engaged as she is passionate, brilliant and concise. I recommend taking nites as this content has power to change lives. however, if one is too wimpy for Truth, too lazy to exercise and too tired to change than she may be too much teacher.
