Christian Gift Books

Inhale deeply, lean into God's Word, and discover why every exhale can be an invitation to pray! Graphic designer Tucker quiets anxiety with this beautifully illustrated guide connecting your body, mind, and spirit to peace. Establish a new reliance upon Christ using 80 breath prayers, full-color illustrations, and a guide toward intimate connection with God. 208 pages, hardcover from Nelson.

Still your soul and rest your mind as you cultivate a purposeful prayer life by focusing your thoughts on God’s Word.

Do you notice that even when your body is not moving, your mind is racing? Anxiety, to-do lists, and the spiral of negative thought patterns often keep us from the stillness we long for. In Present in Prayer, award-winning author Jennifer Tucker invites you to allow the Holy Spirit to speak through God's Word and renew your mind through the practice of Christian meditation.

As in her first book, Breath as Prayer, Jennifer shares a powerful prayer practice in this beautifully illustrated book that is deep yet accessible. Each of the 30 meditations offers you:

• A gentle call to silence, an opening prayer, and a thoughtful reflection on a Bible verse
• Guided meditation on Scripture using the centuries-old practice of lectio divina—a framework of Christian meditation that helps you slow down and linger on God’s Word
• A prayer of surrender and prompts for how to live out the truths God is speaking to you
• Inspired art to draw you into each meditation as you consider what is lovely, true, excellent, and worthy of praise

 

With a beautiful foil-accented cover and full-color original illustrations throughout, Present in Prayer is an ideal gift for:

• Anyone experiencing stress, anxiety, or overwhelming thoughts
• Those who want to establish a more regular prayer practice
• Prayer groups and prayer ministries

 

You're not in a hurry. You're on a journey. Cultivate a more purposeful and peaceful prayer life and greater intimacy with God as you focus your thoughts on His Word.

Move Your Body. Quiet Your Mind. Reconnect with God.

What if prayer felt less like a routine and more like a rhythm—something that flows through all the moments of your day and movements of your body?

In Prayer in Motion, author and artist Jennifer Tucker invites you to experience prayer in a fresh, embodied way—where movement becomes worship, and your physical self is embraced as part of your spiritual journey.

With warmth and gentle wisdom, Jennifer offers a path to deeper peace, joy, and connection through simple practices that unite body and soul. You’ll be encouraged to slow down, create sacred space, and engage in meaningful somatic movement—from stretching and breathing to dancing, drawing, and resting.

Prayer in Motion offers:

• Thoughtful reflections on the biblical connection between body and spirit
• Helpful guides for creating daily prayer rhythms that keep you anchored to God as you move through your day
• Practical tools for mindful movement and embodied prayer
• Creative somatic exercises that promote rest, release, and restoration
• Encouragement to embrace your body as a beautiful, God-created gift

Whether you're feeling disconnected, stressed, or just longing to experience God in a new way, Prayer in Motion gently leads you toward wholeness—helping you reclaim joy, deepen faith, and find peace one intentional movement at a time. 

Let this be your invitation to move with purpose, pray with presence, and worship God with your whole being.
