I just finished the book Body Prayer by Doug Pagitt and Kathryn Prill and was disappointed. I wasn’t disappointed so much in the book or its content but the price. Maybe it is the inevitable risk of purchasing a book online but the book I received wasn’t the book I expected. I liked it, don’t get me wrong, and I’m sure Doug and Kathryn had absolutely nothing to do with setting the price (and probably will only receive a measly $0.25 royalty per book) but it was just way too expensive. It is a good resource, one I will use, but in my opinion it is really only worth about $10 instead of the $21.00 price tag I paid at Chapters.

About the book: it is filled with great, creative and ancient ideas of using our bodies as we pray. It is completely practical and if you are looking for a historical or theological book on the subject you will be disappointed.

Like I said, I liked the book but if you are thinking of buying it, wait until it goes on sale, as it just isn’t worth the high price tag.
