A Journey Into Prayer

Prayer is a constant mental input into our world. Do we pray for what we
need or what we want? Do we pray to heal or to hurt? Healers pray. Terrorists
pray. Motivations for prayer are investigated by the Spindrift researchers. One
discovery was that non goal-directed prayer--"Thy will be done"--produced
different test results than goal-directed prayer.

A Journey Into Prayer explores the struggles, triumphs, and persecutions
of two spiritual healers, Bruce and John Klingbeil, who developed scientific
laboratory tests to validate the effectiveness of prayer. This father and son team
added to the centuries old anecdotal evidence the modern day standard of proof
demanded by science and medicine. Spindrift translated some spiritual
experiences and religious language into the scientific language and experiments of our times.
Spindrift ignited spiritual dynamite. Author Bill Sweet weaves with a rare
sense of humor this Spindrift adventure and the outrage it sparked.

"The name Spindrift is synonymous with what at first seems an oxymoron--the
scientific study of prayer. This group's ground-breaking work, which has
been part of an enormous shift in consciousness, was brought forth at great
personal cost--the apparent suicides of the father-son research team. Bill
Sweet's meticulous account reads like a mystery--one that may never be
solved. But regardless of the tragedy, the Spindrift research is an
important part of the bridge between science and Spirit. May all the good
these researchers have done return to them as an enduring blessing of peace."
