Answered Prayers is a moving look at the power of prayer, love and empathy in the healing process following tragedy. Man Alive interviews Larry Dossey, a doctor and the author of Healing Words. Dossey was sceptical of the power of prayer to heal until research convinced him to include prayer within his own practice. He now says prayer should be a complementary, and not an alternative, procedure in contemporary medical practice. Another interviewee, Dr. James Krahn, says the time is over when theology and science need to be seen in isolation of each other.
