Summary
A devotional from a rising TikTok spiritual guide that offers practical exercises to help readers embrace their body, ease their anxiety, and deepen their faith.
For much of Christian history, the body-often referred to as “the flesh”-has been associated with sin, weakness, and carnal desire.

Critics Review
“If what you need this summer is a chance to slow down and recharge, this devotional may be the most helpful book for you in this list.”
* Building Faith *“Richly descriptive and filled with ideas to deepen and make the journey our own, Joshua Maria Garcia’s book has given us a personal, non-judgmental, and inspiring invitation to take a deep breath, relax into the depth of God’s love, and walk our journey with Jesus with gentleness and grace.”
* J. Neil Alexander, 9th Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta and Custodian of the Standard Book of Common Prayer *“What might it look like to be at peace with our bodies? Written with vulnerability and compassion, A Tranquil Body invites readers to engage with our bodies not as a burden but as a divine gift. I can already tell that I will return again and again to the reflections and practical exercises Garcia offers in my personal life, and I look forward to sharing them as a resource in my pastoral ministry. This is not a book to be read with our mind alone but to be savored through the experiences of our senses as we move from the trend of ‘wellness’ to embracing God-given wholeness.”
* Rachel Kessler, author of Nerd Faith: 60 Second Sprints of Spiritual Guidance for the Occasionally Uncool *“A Tranquil Body meets us where many of us are, in bodies that are both exhausted and full of hope, and provides a path for the times when we are lost from ourselves. It is for anyone wanting to live fully, simply, and faithfully as a spiritual being, searching for home in their body.”
* Sara Ardrey-Graves, Associate Dean for Spiritual and Professional Formation at the School of Theology, University of the South *Joshua Maria Garcia
