A Prayer for Life - Barry Long

"A Prayer for Life" is an essay about how prayer works and how it is often misused. The author gives examples of the right way to pray and explains what can happen when we pray for things that aren't meant for us. The book's subtitle is "The Cause and Cure of Terrorism, War, and Human Suffering."

Barry Long argues that these problems are the result of people unconsciously praying for material success and advantage. He warns that our planet can't handle the level of human corruption, and predicts that a more evolved humanity will eventually inherit "a new earth." In the final chapters, he shares his vision of a future where human beings are completely transformed.
