Book Reviews of Prayer of Heart and Body: Meditation and Yoga as Christian Spiritual Practice
Book Review: A great book for Christians questioning the value of meditation and yoga.
Summary: 4 Stars
It seems that many Christians don't see value in silent meditation. We can see that with the increase in worship services that are praise oriented with constant preaching and praise music one leading into the other, no opportunity for silence meditation or reflection in many modern churchs today.
As this trend continues, more Christians who cannot connect to God through the banging of drums will want a more contemplative retreat. Yoga and meditation can be that retreat. This book can help them see it in a Christian context, and hopefully realize that meditation is not new to Christianity.
Don't judge it by a few statements taken out of context. Read the entire book.
