Learn how the powerful yet neglected spiritual discipline of fasting can awaken your entire being to a deep hunger for God, in this guide from New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer and the team at Practicing the Way.
In our culture of constant consumption, the biblical practice of fasting is both countercultural and transformative. This Companion Guide to the Fasting Practice from Practicing the Way offers spiritual exercises, reflection questions, and guided readings. Featuring four engaging video sessions, the Fasting Practice is designed to be run with your community and is available online for free.
This guide will help you:
Understand the invitation to fast as a rhythm or a response
Offer your whole self to God in surrender
Grow in holiness by integrating mind and body
Amplify both your prayers to God and God’s voice to you
Stand in solidarity with the poor and against injustice
Discover how incorporating fasting as a way of life can lead to a deeper connection with God, a renewed sense of purpose, and a more embodied apprenticeship.
John Mark Comer is the New York Times bestselling author of Practicing the Way, Live No Lies, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, and four previous books. He's also the Founder and Teacher of Practicing the Way, a simple, beautiful way to integrate spiritual formation into your church or small group. Prior to starting Practicing the Way, he spent almost twenty years pastoring Bridgetown Church in Portland, OR, and working out discipleship to Jesus in the post-Christian West.
