Fasting: The Ancient Practices (Hardcover)
This was a good book, if you want to know about fasting. I preferred Piper’s “A Hunger For God” over this book. This is the second book in the Ancient Practices Series I have read in the past few weeks. The first book I read was “Tithing” by Douglas Leblanc. Tithing was different, engaging and unique in perspective. I just did not get into this book quit as well. This might have come from a familiarization with fasting on my part. I must add that the discipline of fasting as whole body spirituality is a great point and really worth the time I spent in the book. For someone with little knowledge on the subject it would serve as good motivation to begin the discipline.I can recommend the book for that and for some good insight on the practical outworking of fasting as part of the Christian life. This book was review for Thomas Nelson’s BookSneeze. This book was supplied to me for free through this program in exchange for a review of the book. My review was not influenced by Thomas Nelson or the fact that the book was provided for free.
