In regards to the Harvard study cited in the video about the effectiveness of praying vs not praying:
I recently read/listened** to Lee Strobel’s book “The Case for Miracles” and this study is directly addressed and called into question. I enjoyed the entire book as a whole but to see this study directly challenged go to Chapter 7.
As a sample, it’s stated in the book that the only “Protestants” involved in the study were from the Silent Unity of Lee’s Summit, Missouri who don’t believe in the effectiveness of prayer.
The book also points to a study that shows opposite results.
**Yes, I listen to the audiobook as I read along. I’ve found this really helps with my chronic mind wandering issue. Thanks to the Toronto Public Library, this solution has been inexpensive.
