Can prayer account for astonishing recoveries that exceed medical expectations? In this program, doctors—including Larry Dossey, author of Healing Words—and people outside the medical profession share their understanding of prayer as a complementary therapy and the different approaches to using it. They also discuss the difference between curing and healing, and whether or not a patient’s death is a failure of prayer. People of different faiths agree that prayers for the ill, whether done as part of a group or alone, vocally or silently, can help provide meaning, hope, and possibly even health for those in need of healing.
