This book is a bunch of garble-d-goop and talking in circles and not saying much of anything. The bible specificlly tells you how to pray. Nothing has been lost in the interpitation. The writers of the books of the bible were told by GOD to write it down and they did. GOD does not, and can not, lie. Where did this guy get his information on 45 (to HIS knowledge) lost books of the bible that were kept out of the interpetation because someone decided, in their vast wisdom, that we did not need them? There is no such thing, period. This information was created out of imagination, just like Mormonism and the Davidians and any other cult. If you would like the TRUTH about prayer, may I suggust writings by Hank Hanigraf, Luis Pulau, Billy Graham, or the author's of the books of the bible.

Before Mr. Braden ever tells us what the lost mode of prayer is, we have to listen to both sides of tape 1, then listen to more than half of side A of tape 2 - and there are only two tapes. Most of the tape 1 is dedicated to: 1) descriptions of various prophecies that all support the idea that we are in a historical period of change (You probably already know that without the help of prophecies.) 2) distorted references to scientific research (cold fusion, molecular structure, new observations in astronomy, etc.) used in attempts to support the idea that we are all connected through vibrational energy (which I believe is true on some levels, but most of his examples don't really logically support the idea. It just seems like an attempt to make the tape sound academic when it's not. There are even grammatical errors.) The lost mode of prayer can be summed up as follows: Don't pray _for_ things because that focuses on lack and fear. Instead use all of your senses to feel, see, smell, move through how things are as you want them. Then, give thanks for your part in the creation. For example, instead of praying _for_ rain," "pray rain." Experience how it feels, looks, etc., then give thanks. Okay, this actually is a great way to deepen prayer, but it takes forever for the tapes to get there. The rest of tape 2 focuses some on praying peace and using nature to get back to the feeling of peace. The Hindu peace prayer is nice and at first seems to bring the tape to a close on a higher spiritual plane. But then, it is jarringly followed by a commercial after a very brief musical interlude!
