Investigating Prayer Impact on Health and Quality of Life

From the reviews:

“This book examines the effect of prayer on quality of life, particularly as a possible complementary or alternative therapy to fight illness. … the book is easy to read and a good introduction to this subject … . The book does a good job of exploring this important topic. Many clients are interested in spirituality, so it makes sense to study prayer as a complementary adjunctive treatment to traditional medicine.” (Gary B. Kaniuk, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2013) 

“The purpose of this volume is to scientifically study the existence and effects of a spiritual reality … on the physical health of patients with cancer. The volume also explores various ethical issues associated with scientific research in the spiritual arena … . this volume is highly recommended as required reading for a wide range of quality of life researchers, students, as well as for members of the general public who share an interest in the book’s subject matter.” (P. Zanor, Applied Research in Quality of Life, Vol. 8, 2013)
