Synopsis:

Roth focuses on the image of breath as the Spirit of God that is the source of our life. She draws on the resources of Christian body prayer to teach contemplative, reflective and verbal prayer, and prayer through action and life.

Reviews: Roth spirals around the image of God's breath as silence, thought, speech, and action, and upon our own breath of life, letting this image lead the reader to truly embodied prayer in the midst of ordinary life. An Episcopal priest, musician, and dancer, Roth takes the reader from proper physical breathing to finding space for psychological and spiritual breath while encouraging contemplative, reflective, and verbal prayer supported by action. Questions for reflection and exercises make this a book that goes from reading about prayer to actual prayer in many forms.
