Publisher's Synopsis
This book explores how fasting, an ancient discipline, might catalyze significant transformation rather than just serving as a manual for fasting. It is an invitation to go deeper than the surface, explore the core of spiritual awakening, and personally experience the close relationship between fasting and a life-changing relationship with God.
Consider fasting as a spiritual alchemical journey rather than a strict ritual, one that turns the ordinary into the extraordinary and the every day into the sublime. When fasting is done with respect and purpose, it may be a sacred method to reach our innermost spiritual selves. It's a voyage into the self-discovery desert, where we peel back the layers that hide the real us and uncover the essence that speaks to the Divine. This book is a gift of wisdom, anecdotes, and helpful advice to enlighten this spiritual path. Regardless of one's religious background, it transcends orthodoxy and encourages readers to follow a path that aligns with their interpretation of spirituality. Storytelling is our guide throughout this investigation. Stories, whether from modern lives or old texts, make up the human experience. We discover the transforming power of fasting through the prism of relatable narratives: from biblical characters experiencing supernatural breakthroughs to contemporary people discovering physical and spiritual health through purposeful fasting. This book offers guidance on fasting as a decision for transformation rather than as a duty. Fasting is a spiritual journey that goes beyond rituals; it's about developing a closeness with God that transcends the ordinary rhythms of life and experiencing Him in the pauses between our breaths. As you flip the pages of this book, may the instruction and the stories speak to your heart and soul respectively, and may this journey serve as a springboard to a deeper relationship with God.
