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)
