Practical and Powerful

This is a beautifully written book. The concepts are presented in a clear and compelling way. The author's authencity comes through in his writing. The book lives up to its name...PRACTICAL. I recommend this book for anyone in search of purpose and a deeper relationship with themselves and God. I also recommend his other book...A Practical Guide to Prosperous Living.

simple and elegant

i read this then bought copies for people i care about. in my opinion a very inspired book for those with the courage to determine for themselves what is meaningful. the author is a christian unity minister i believe but his frame of reference is universal. i love spiritual literature but am sometimes daunted by the esoteric redundancy. this book is everything its title claims.

Practical means it makes sense!

This is a great book and I would highly recommend this or any of Rev. Bottorff's works to anyone seeking to gain a greater perspective of their spiritual growth - read it - apply the teachings - reap the rewards!

a practical guide to meditation and prayer

Without a doubt, the most practical, concise, and to the point book I have ever read about meditation and prayer. This is a must for someone who wants a well written and clear book on these subjects. No jibberish and 'roud the mountain lingo here. A definite keeper for my library.

Fantastic Guide to New Thought Prayer

In A Practical Guide to Meditation and Prayer, J. Douglas Bottoroff gives us an easy to read beginner's guide on meditation, what to expect at first and not to expect, and the purpose of meditation being that it is the process that brings you into direct contact with the attributes of God. Regarding the subject of meditation, this book has helped me immensely in how to begin meditation and how best to do so.Regarding the subject of prayer, Bottoroff is so right on! We use prayer to raise our higher consciousness and conform our thought system with our purpose. He uses denials (releasing negative thoughts) and affirmations (a conscious effort to bring the Truth of God into your awareness and then ACT from that truth) to teach us how to pray and live with more peace of mind, better clarity of our Oneness with God and in praying for others.I highly recommend this book to anyone who desires to work on their spiritual growth, as it is a fantastic tool to be read over and over because it is just so very inspiring!
