Tara Owens writes with warmth and wisdom on a subject that many Christians have at best distrusted or at worst discarded--our bodies as carriers and avenues of spiritual growth and connection with God. We claim to be people of the incarnation but often live as if only our souls mattered and our bodies did not. Owens calls us back to our whole selves--body and soul--and in doing so helps us reconnect with incarnational living both through the central historical event that kicked off Christian movement and our ongoing task of being the disciples of Jesus cloaked in flesh and blood., "Tara M. Owens is a rare find among contemporary writers. Part theologian, part mystic, her insight is bold and rich, and her writing is fine-tuned. . . . I'm grateful for the ways Tara's words have revealed some of my own wounds and fears and helped me make space for new ways of encountering God, through the body, in the body. I will be meditating on this book for a long time to come. I hope the same for you." Micha Boyett, author of Found: A Story of Questions, Grace Everyday Prayer, Tara Owens writes with warmth and wisdom on a subject that many Christians have at best distrusted or at worst discarded'our bodies as carriers and avenues of spiritual growth and connection with God. We claim to be people of the incarnation but often live as if only our souls mattered and our bodies did not. Owens calls us back to our whole selves'body and soul'and in doing so helps us reconnect with incarnational living both through the central historical event that kicked off Christian movement and our ongoing task of being the disciples of Jesus cloaked in flesh and blood., This book is beautiful, learned and wise. It will make you think, and it will make you want to say 'amen'--and, more important, it will enable you more fully to live as a body., "Owens, a certified spiritual director and senior editor for Conversations Journal, addresses the disconnect most of us, and our churches, experience between ourselves and the physical world around us, even though it is in the body that heaven actively meets earth. Through a gentle, compassionate exploration of our thoughts and feelings about our bodies, enhanced with exercises for reflection, Owens helps us to learn what it means to be at home in our own skin and sensitive to the body's innate wisdom." Kristine Morris, ForeWord Reviews, Spring 2015, Tara Owens's Embracing the Body is a gift for anyone seeking to understand how the body--with all of its twitches, itches and bentness toward false unions--is not an enemy of spiritual formation but an amazing gift from God and the ground for personal incarnation--experiencing the reality of the apostle Paul's number one teaching point, Christ within. She makes great use of real-life stories and engaging theological reflection., Tara M. Owens is a rare find among contemporary writers.

Christine Valters Paintner, abbeyofthearts.com, author of The Artist's Rule, With tender words and emotional depth, Owens offers a sacred space to ponder the fears of our bodies and how the subtle and overt messages we receive from church and society numb us to the murmurs from God that reverberate through our flesh and bones. . . .

Brent Bill, coauthor of Awaken Your Senses and Finding God in the Verbs, "Owens, a certified spiritual director and senior editor for Conversations Journal , addresses the disconnect most of us, and our churches, experience between ourselves and the physical world around us, even though it is in the body that heaven actively meets earth. Through a gentle, compassionate exploration of our thoughts and feelings about our bodies, enhanced with exercises for reflection, Owens helps us to learn what it means to be at home in our own skin and sensitive to the body's innate wisdom." Kristine Morris, ForeWord Reviews, Spring 2015, Our bodies have been the cause of much shame and guilt, as well as false pride--yet they have much to teach us about divinity. Owens unpacks this thesis by examining themes such as fear and impulse, celebration and connectivity. The Canadian author . . . has a strong command of biblical and liturgical theology, and she directs that skill in penetrating and healing ways. Incarnation and resurrection--God in Jesus, both human and divine--are at the core of our understanding of being Christian. We can rejoice in both carnality and divinity, and this book helps us explore that more deeply., "Truth. Beauty. Revelation.

Ashley Goff, Presbyterian Outlook, June 11, 2015, Tara Owens offers us a wise and tender exploration of the gifts our bodies offer to us as portals into God's grace and wisdom. This book is much needed and should be required reading in every church's adult faith formation program.
