Fasting: Spiritual Freedom Beyond Our Appetites

Lynne Baab explains an ancient Christian practice that extends beyond giving up food to any regular activity in our contemporary lives. You'll see how taking a break from eating--or driving, or checking e-mail, or watching television--opens us up to discover new things about ourselves and God and the world around us.

Simple, Sensible, Splendid!

I just finished reading this book today. I decided to read the whole thing in one sitting, and to do a water-juice fast to boot! What a great day, largely because this is such a marvelously sensible and spiritually satisfying book on fasting.

Having been raised in a performance-oriented church and family, I steer clear of anything that feels like a `should' or a `must' related to my faith. Grace is a theme I prefer and one I was pleased to find peppered throughout this book. If you're...

Inspirational and insightful!

Fasting: Spiritual Freedom Beyond Our Appetites is a wonderful look at the Christian practice of fasting from historical and contemporary viewpoints. As Lynne Baab is quick to point out, "fasting" is not about denial, but about liberation; it is a spiritual practice that brings us into deeper awareness of our relationship to God. We can fast from a number of appetites or habits; not only from eating, but watching TV, surfing...
