A LIBRARIAN’S ORIENTATION
What this book explores
Celeste Snowber Schroeder invites Christians to bring gesture, movement, breath, posture, and dance into prayer. Scriptural reflection and simple exercises challenge the habit of treating prayer as an activity of words and thoughts alone.
EDITORIAL NOTE
Why it’s in the Library
It gives travelers a distinctly Christian route into embodiment and shows that bodily practice need not require leaving Christian language behind. That balance matters on a shelf where many strong contemporary resources arise from clinical, Buddhist, yoga, or secular settings.
Good starting place if…
You want to explore prayer with your whole body, especially if stillness and words alone have begun to feel narrow or disconnected.
Know before you begin…
The book reflects a 1990s Christian practice context and may now be harder to obtain. Its language and examples can feel dated, and movement invitations are devotional exercises rather than medical, fitness, or trauma treatment.
