Breath as Prayer: Calm Your Anxiety, Focus Your Mind, and Renew Your Soul – The Perfect Christian Mother's Day Gifts for Mom

This book is beautifully written and illustrated. Having first read the ebook (which was lovely), I highly recommend the hard back verion which is even more beautiful! The practice of breath prayers is well explained with many encouraging examples for personal practice. This would be a great gift as well as a useful guide for yourself!

This book not only has good content, but beautiful artwork as well! Each day there is a devotional type message with a Bible verse, and then the page across from it will be a message to repeat to yourself during the breath prayer, and throughout your day to help your mind remained focused on what it should be focused on most, The One and Only True God and His Word. 🙌🏻❤️ I pray blessings over everyone who purchases the book, may it help you in the times you need it most, may it help point you towards Christ and help grow your relationship and trust in Him. I also pray blessings over anyone reading this review, whether you purchase the book or not, I pray you feel God's love today and always, and that you put your trust in Him because He cares for you! No matter what you're going through, He loves you, He sees you and He hears you; Our God is a Father who listens ❤️ Your breakthrough is coming, it may not be instant, sometimes it takes awhile, but it's always worth the wait. Hang on and know that you are seen, loved and heard. Much love and blessings!

THIS GEM OF A BOOK IS SENSATIONAL!!!! IT IS EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE AND COVERS THE BASES. I ABSOLUTELY WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS BOOK SOONER! I WILL BE BUYING A FEW FOR FRIENDS!! THIS BOOK IS A BLESSING!!!

I discovered this book through the Bible app I have on my phone looking for “plans” to do for anxiety. “Breath as Prayer” was the first one that came up. The Bible plans usually do not reference the source of the plan but this one did. It specifically showed the cover of this book with the author. As I went through the days of the plan I so enjoyed it I decided to look for the book on Amazon. Ironically this book was released, if my memory is correct, 9/13/22 & I purchased it that day. It arrived the following day & over the last 2 weeks I’ve practiced all 84 “Breath Prayer Themes” as they are called. I now have a handful of favorites I entail in daily in my life. The author, Jennifer Tucker, created a beautiful book that truly claims the title of the book, “calm your anxiety, focus your mind and renew your soul” I can say using this book for more than 2 weeks the first two truly hold true to the claim. I feel over time the third will come. Her detailed description on breath prayer basics & breathing techniques are helpful to those who are new to focusing on their breath, the inhale & exhale. For anyone who practices meditation this is easier to practice. I’ve been meditating for years. The breathing techniques were easy. I had to adjust my thought process while inhaling & exhaling entailing the words that went with each. This took practice but practice was well worth it! 2 of my favorites I took pictures of. What I love the most with each breath prayer theme is how a scripture is referenced & then she provides her insight on the scripture. She does a beautiful job. At the bottom of the page on the left is the small scripture you will inhale & exhale. “THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I HAVE ALL THAT I NEED” is the very first one. I practiced this first & within a couple days I had it! I loved that I could use a beautiful scripture & silently inhale & exhale the words which automatically calmed me. These are true silent prayers which calmed my anxiety. My 2nd favorite is “YOU STILL THE STORMS TO A WHISPER, YOU HUSH THE WAVES OF THE SEA” I’ll say practicing this small piece of a scripture with each inhale & exhale amazingly calmed my heart & head from racing. In learning how to do this so it worked for me I did go to quiet place & was patient with the process. I wanted this to work, felt in my heart this would work but knew I needed to put the time into learning it. An additional benefit to having this book in front of me was how beautifully it was illustrated & how each page was different. Aside from regular book reading I do on my Kindle, this is the greatest, I’d say, not fully a therapy oriented book, but has impacted me enough to say this book has reduced my anxiety & in my own hands I do it. If you are interested a bit into purchasing this book I say, do it. You won’t regret it. This is worth every penny I spent. I hope the pictures I added give you a great idea of what the inside is somewhat about. This was the best gift to myself & one I’ll be giving to others.

What a wonderful book! I love the combination of deep breathing coupled with Scripture. If you are prone to anxiety, or find it difficult to emotionally regulate when overstimulated, these practical suggestions of breath prayers are so helpful. I love that this book offered scientifically proven breath work, but didn’t negate the need many have for professional help or therapy. Regulating the nervous system with breathing, while regulating the soul with Scripture is a life changing habit. An easy 5 stars!

I’ve enjoyed this book so much as it introduced me to a new way to pray and experience the calming power of breathing. I’ve read it three times, using the breath prayers as part of my daily devotions. It soothes me and brings such peace.

Simple concept, but rich in application.

This book has the power to change lives. Someone gifted it to me, and it has helped so much in the day to day struggles of life that I have, in turn, bought a couple of copies to give as gifts later this year. Everyone has a tough road to travel. Maybe not outwardly in appearance, but in matters of the heart, a battle is raging in most of us. This book will help provide focus, hope, and strength. Don't miss out on this gem of encouragement.
