5.0 out of 5 stars Get Inspired...You Will Run and Not Grow Weary!, April 1, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Meditation in Motion: Exercise Your Body and Soul--At the Same Time! (Paperback)

As a busy wife and mother, I struggle daily to incorporate both spiritual devotions and physical activity into my routines. I know in my mind and heart that both will benefit me tremendously, but frequently manage to find excuses to keep me from my daily prayer or workout times.

Barbara Bartocci has written a book which has helped me tremendously. By sharing the stories of 48 "regular" people (not extreme athletes) and their exploration of the connection between physical activity and spiritual awareness, Barbara sparks the reader to inspiration. Meditation in Motion has helped me see the "opportunities" in my own life to experience that sacred through the blessing God has given me to be able to get out and move! Barbara Bartocci will motivate you to experiment with new sports and activities you may never have thought of or tried. The book includes a "Know Yourself" quiz, 21 Ways to link physical and spiritual fitness, and Barbara's "Coach's Reflection" at the end of each story which incorporate spiritual and physical principals. I hope you'll pick up this book and make it and the ideas it shares a part of your own life!

This review is from: Meditation in Motion: Exercise Your Body and Soul--At the Same Time! (Paperback)

I am a regular exerciser who seems to be always looking for ways to combine exercising with praise and worship. The stories in this book showed how it can happen automatically when you are involved in physical activity you love. It showed me how and when it aleady happens for me.

Her stories are engaging and I enjoyed reading how people expanded their horizons physically and spiritually at the same time.

This review is from: Meditation in Motion: Exercise Your Body and Soul--At the Same Time! (Paperback)

Compiled by freelance writer and public speaker Barbara Bartocci, Meditation In Motion presents forty-eight stories revealing people who discovered (often quite by chance and under unexpected circumstance) connections between their physical activity and the spiritual awareness. Drawn from all backgrounds and life conditions, these stories range from people who engage in cycling, sky diving, and hiking the Appalachian Trail, to others who swim laps at the "Y", surf the Pacific Coast, or "walk the mall". Enhanced by the author with twenty ways to help her readers become fit both physically and spiritually, these are stories that combine "how to" ideas with anecdotal inspirations. Meditation In Motion is especially recommended for spirituality enhancement and personal growth reading lists and reference collections for members of the Christian community regardless of denominational affiliation.
