Christianity is dependent on how well we fellowship with other people. Small prayer groups provide a means by which we get to know each other and develop loving relationships. Great benefits come when we belong to a healthy small prayer group. Only then can we be ourselves, achieve true freedom, and attain salvation. In the absence of a loving community, our institutional church becomes a formalistic travesty. In summary, good small prayer groups are vital for the ultimate meaning of human life and Christian faith.

"BOROWITZ, Joseph. Need for God in Human Society. USA: Xlibris, 2017, ix+103pp.
After reading this enlightening and transforming work from Dr. Joseph L. Borowitz, my response to it was a spontaneous “wow.†Indeed, I was wowed to read a richly theological, spiritual, psychological, historical, and societal work of genius from a professor of Pharmacology. He is Professor Emeritus of Pharmacology at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, for 45 years; and an ardent, active and devoted Catholic whom I have known personally as a good friend.
In this 13-chapter book, Borowitz demonstrates his conviction that the societies we live in today have an absolute need for God as well as the promotion of peace and concord. He is motivated for writing this book by his deep belief that God is most evident in small prayer groups (preface). Thus, he shows confidence that, “Small charismatic prayer groups do not detract from traditional Church services†(chapters seven and eight). He equally validates his belief among other things that without the help of the Holy Spirit our endeavors would be ineffective. This was manifested in his being Faculty advisor to the student prayer group at Purdue College of Pharmacy for 16 years and subsequently as a member of the Christian Pharmacist’s Fellowship International (CPFI), and during his Sunday school teaching experiences at the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, West Lafayette for 32 years now.
Borowitz’s book is filled with stories of how God intervenes in the lives of people devoted to Him. Also, the author teaches us these wise dispositions: “It is only when we drift away from God that we have real problems†(chapter one); Human freewill is important in the attainment of eternal salvation (chapter two); There is the hand of God in the development of human civilization (chapter three); People in important administrative positions in American Government must be humble and put God and spiritual things first (chapter four).
Furthermore, the book is replete with ample examples of how deep experience with God can change lives (chapters five, nine, eleven, etc.). The author counsels for the need for a healthy interrelationship through dialogue and encourages diplomats to be adept at maintaining peace (chapter six). Thus, he avows that: when we get into an argument, we should stop and count to ten before saying anything; what God thinks of you is most important and not what other people think; people who are deeply spiritual live longer than those who do not go to church (chapter ten).
Using his learning and personal experiences and common human experiences, the author has some balanced counsels on Christianity and Pharmacy (chapter 10), Drug abuse and its influence on society and religion (chapter 11) as well as the issue of mental illness and the society (chapter 12).
In all, this book, like his previous writings shows the versatility the author is made of which finds a perfect balancing in his personal/interpersonal spirituality and is visibly expressed in his relationship with God and fellow human beings.
That everyone should welcome this book is obvious. Fortunately, it is not an intimidating book. It is easy to read and understand as it is interesting and enlightening. Getting your copy and reading it will surely make your day.
