Brody Position Quote by Mark Romang
““Brody lifted his head and hands. He never bowed his head or clasped his hands near his face when he prayed. This much-used posture was a defensive one, and in Brody’s mind, too similar to a boxer tucking his head and protecting his chin with his gloves. Brody’s position made him vulnerable and completely open to God.””
