You could always promote it on the internet.
In the non-fiction market, a writer's credibility on the topic is essential. The agent wants to know what you are doing or have done to create that credibility. Basically you need to ask, "why should someone buy my prayer book over someone else's."
1. You need a website. In this day and age, it is essential.
2. Special appearances are part of the promotional effort. But even if you can't travel across the country, you can be available in your local community.
3. Are you actively publishing? Nothing promotes new releases like old releases. Get a blog. Write articles for your local newspaper.
Congrats on your book! Doesn't it feel great to finish something that big?
