If the strength of dance is visual communication and if we live in a culture that communicates visually, why aren't Christian dancers being mobilized as a visual tool for the communication of the gospel? _ The answer doesn't seem simple, but it can be. Dance is Prayer in Motion: Soul to Sole Choreography for Christian Dance Ministry clarifies how to use dance as a communication and ministry tool for the gospel. It educates Christian dancers, pastoral staff, and ministry leaders using clear guidelines for successful dance ministry. Mary Margaret Bawden presents practical material for dance ministry addressing leadership, choreography tools, a movement option called genesis that incorporates all levels of technical ability and style, a six-step method of choreography, and the 4 rehearsal essentials. Chapters also cover the biblical foundation for dance ministry and how pastors and ministry leaders who are not familiar with dance can use it to access the visual, creative nature of today's culture. "Mary Margaret Bawden's book Dance is Prayer in Motion: Soul to Sole Choreography for Christian Dance Ministry is a very practical manual especially suitable for church dance groups. Mary's training and experience over many years has given her the background to create easy to follow steps in creating a dance and planning the rehearsal process with a clear biblical basis for the work. Pastors will _find her chapter on setting expectations and guidelines for dance ministry in the church insightful and helpful."

Mary Bawden's book, Dance is Prayer in Motion: Soul to Sole Choreography for Christian Dance Ministry, opened my eyes to a whole new genre of worship. I have always served the Lord with the artistic gifts He has given me, but had never had my eyes opened to dance as a form of worship. Not only has this book awakened me to the art of worshiping the Lord with my whole heart, soul, mind and body, but has given very practical insight on how to lead other ministries with effectiveness and grace. Mary's deep knowledge of Scripture and close relationship with the Lord is displayed vividly throughout the book. This book is a complete Christian ministry guide, from challenging you with Scripture, to giving you practical hands-on assessment tools including usable letters, covenants, and personality guides. From a practical standpoint alone, I give this book five stars.
