Miraculous Silence: A Journey to Illumination and Healing Through Prayer

Spiritual teacher Rahbar combines the prayer traditions and practices of East and West to create this prayer guide and resource. Rahbar’s focus is on prayers to God—and all they entail. She shares her own life story to demonstrate to readers how a strong prayer commitment creates a bond with God, offering strength in troubled times. The book is an instructional guide for a variety of seekers and will be a useful resource about prayer practices that may be less well known among Western seekers—reciting mantras, meditation, visualization, stones. Rahbar includes many prayers she has written herself and suggested situations for praying them. A good balance of techniques and resources, theistic readers both traditional and more new age will find this a helpful resource. (Jan.)
