<title>Books: &quot;Jairus&apos; Daughter&quot;</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18581/20111013/books-quot-jairus-apos-daughter-quot</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 13, 2011) Potsdam writer Evelyn Weissman&apos;s first novel, Jairus&apos; Daughter, is a fictional autobiography that began as a series of stories for her children as an answer to questions about her conversion from Judaism to Christianity.   She calls it a modern tale of religious conversion.    Weissman, like Sara in her book, grew up in a traditional Jewish family and reluctantly followed a spiritual path that led her to Christianity.  Todd Moe spoke with her in the backyard of her Potsdam home about the book and her spiritual journey.  She&apos;ll sign copies of her book at the Brewer Bookstore in Canton this Saturday afternoon (3 pm).

<title>Study questions the power of prayer, but not belief</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/8133/20061012/study-questions-the-power-of-prayer-but-not-belief</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 12, 2006) In Brian Mann’s report yesterday on faith healing in a Saranac Lake Episcopal Church, he noted a recent report in The American Heart Journal that showed that intercessory prayer had no impact on the health of patients undergoing heart surgery. It was a widely awaited study that was supposed to be more scientifically rigorous than previous studies. But one of its co-authors says the implications of the report have been exaggerated. Father Dean Marek is director of chaplain services at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. He told Gregory Warner the study dealt specifically with the power of intercessory prayer by strangers. But a sense of faith or religious conviction, he says, has been shown to have a healing power.

<title>Evangelical Strongmen Break Bricks, Preach Gospel at Fort Drum</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/5816/20050623/evangelical-strongmen-break-bricks-preach-gospel-at-fort-drum</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 23, 2005) A four-day Christian revival event came to the North Country last week. This was no traveling tent show. The North Country Encounter featured stunt bikers and rock climbing, motorcycle tours and Christian rockers. The lineup also included two strongmen evangelists known as the Power Team. They smashed bricks and bent steel bars – but their message was spiritual. Chaplains at Fort Drum invited the Power Team and other evangelists to perform on the base. About a hundred soldiers and their families attended. Greg Warner went to the event and sends us this report.
