reviewed Spirituality of Fasting: Rediscovering a Christian Practice on September 13, 2017 Spirituality of Fasting
Great easily readable book that covers the Biblical necessity of Fasting for the practicing
Christian. Prayer, Fasting, and works of mercy are the three pillars of God's people throughout the Bible both Old and New Testament. Also covers the historical Christian practice of fasting (Wednesdays & Fridays). He quotes from Ratzinger and Augustine throughout the book. Murphy does a great job making the case that Fasting helps us distinguish needs from wants, and assist in avoiding a complaining mentality embracing a gracious attitude. My only recommendation is for the author to include a bit more of a program for fasting to a person that is not familiar with the process. Highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the Biblical and historical roots of fasting.
