Hábitos de oração
The author argues that prayers for the people tend to be shallow, not considering the spiritual needs, but just the physical aspect of the sick. "Usually physical healing is the sole goal of prayer. At the most debased, a prayer might be nothing more than requests for doctors, procedures, and medicines to be effective."
