The Power of Healing Prayer: Overcoming Emotional and Psychological Blocks Paperback – January 8, 2013

Truly loved reading this book!With this book, The Power of Healing Prayer: Overcoming Emotional and Psychological Blocks, the reader (soul) will have a deeper understanding and appreciation of the power of healing prayer and recognize what inhibits true happiness in life because of our human nature (sinfulness), sin itself, lack of faith and a lapse–a moral fall from rectitude or virtue; or lukewarm or absent desire to seek forgiveness–as well as to forgive. This book is a wonderful reminder of the treasure in earthen vessels. I highly recommend having this book in your home and reflect upon its content frequently, as with each day, there are near occasions of sin and physical and emotional illnesses that arise in us and those we love and care about. A great spiritual read! I’ve bought several and given them as gifts as well.Father McAlear also has several other beautiful and insightful, spiritual books available as well as DVD’s and CD’s, on his ministry of Hope and Healing. He is available for parish missions, lectures, teaching days, Healing Masses, leads pilgrimages and is humble and approachable. His website and contact information is available at FRMAC dot org. This book, The Power of Healing Prayer: Overcoming Spiritual and Psychological Blocks, is perfect for anyone and everyone seeking and understanding forgiveness and recognizing the effects of unresolved issues/sins not forgiven, injury, attachment to sin, past physical and psychological insults, clutter (emotional and psychological) that can get in our way of both seeking and accepting forgiveness, overcoming the blocks – retaining the feeling of unworthiness no matter how grave, how many times or how many offenses…Through this step by step process, Father McAlear reiterates the limitless love, never ending mercy and forgiveness of God, is Christ centered, focusing on the Holy Eucharist and HIS living, real presence, and furnishes this book with truth and hope–if we humble ourselves and not contribute to or enable what the evil one wants: confusion, guilt, pride, disillusion, doubt, fear, unworthiness, anxiety, self-loathing, hatred, pity…God is our Heavenly Father and The Lord Jesus our Living Redeemer and Savior, in whom shall we fear? Forgiveness at our fingertips, page by page, ("Day by Day...") by way of this great book and with courage, conviction and faith–we ALL can obtain the forgiveness we so seek, desire and need, and to share with others. I highly recommend this treasure chest of wisdom for spiritual direction toward prayer and spiritual healing that is Christ centered, mindful of Penance and Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist, written prayerfully, holistically and focused with firm, devout belief and ministry…for the healing and salvation of souls. Pray, confess, be penitent and be healed. We hope, pray, trust and rely on Him, in Whom all graces flow…What a blessing and gift to have this book–and it can be read and applicable to any faith.

I just began reading this book, since it arrived only yesterday, but the little bit that I have read, has been tremendously useful. A particular chapter, offered me valuable information which gave me an instant breakthrough in taking the next step towards healing. This book is powerful and filled with wisdom. It's written with deep compassion, kindness and understanding and has some incredibly amazing insights, that I believe many would find helpful. Would definitely recommend it for anyone involved in the Healing Ministry as well as anyone who is on the path of healing.

There is good news in this book. Jesus heals, even now in the twenty-first century. It is worth reading this book slowly. I spent a lot of time thinking and praying my way through it. Whether you need healing yourself, and who doesn't, or whether you engage in ministry with others, I think you will find this book extremely useful.

This book covers many aspects of what intercessors and healing prayer groups need to know about what they encounter while praying with people.

I am very satisfied with this order. My book arrived on time and in good condition. I would definitely recommend it.

I went to a healing mass with Father Richard McAlear and was healed from many years of pain! The book is a great!

This is an excellent treatment on divine healing from a Catholic perspective. This healing priest has been practicing divine healing for over 30 years. His prayers are filled with wisdom and humility. Therefore you would expect God's grace in abundance.

This book should be read by all those seeking healing or interested in the healing ministry. I found it easy to read and very helpful.

This is one of my favourite books. True, I read it at a time of great personal need but I feel blessed (lucky) to have found it. I was searching for something to just be of help to me, never consciously knew of it as a vocation. While I am not as sure of that yet; it is a truly valuable and compassionate book.
