Ten mini-retreats will guide you to a better understanding of the spiritual importance of, and the appreciation that should accompany the bodies God has given us. Each mini-retreat is one chapter, moving from senses toward emotions and desires in Christine Paintner's The Wisdom of the Body. The book is her answer to the modern conception of the perfect female body dictated by popular culture - television, movies, the media. Paintner draws from Christian tradition to offer principles and practices, such as stability, hospitality, and gratitude to lead us on a journey to a sense of deep peace and self-acceptance.

"The Wisdom of the Body met me where I was and transported me to a place I haven't been in a long time, drawing me across sacred thresholds and inviting me to pause, breathe, and renew my commitment to live life with attention and intention. Thank you, Christine Valters Paintner, for the gift of this book, this vision, this invitation!" --Mary DeTurris Poust, Catholic blogger and author of Cravings
