Eleven-year-old Harry Potter was a baby when his parents died, and since that time he has been living with his horrible Uncle Vernon, dislikable Aunt Petunia, and truly disgusting cousin Dudley. Miserable and lonely, Harry is shocked when he receives a letter inviting him to attend the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. At this special school, which is kept a secret from all those not involved in the worlds of magic, Harry begins to learn the truth about the death of his parents and discovers his own unbelievably amazing family history.

In HEALING WORDS, Dr. Larry Dossey offers a compelling argument to support the efficacy of prayer in healing. Making an important distinction between cultivating prayerfulness and praying for specific outcomes, Dr. Dossey shows how some people, on receiving a serious diagnosis, have been shown to spontaneously recover when their faith deepens and they pursue what their heart desires, be it work or leisure. He considers the importance of the doctor's belief in healing, as well as the patient's, and he looks at distance healing and its effects on plants and animals as well as humans. Designed to convince skeptical scientists, this is a fascinating book for anyone looking at the connection between mind, body, and spirituality.
