Focuses upon religious and spiritual motivations for fasting,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fasting...Exploring A Great Spiritual Practice (Paperback)
Fasting is a spiritual guide, and not intended specifically as a medical or scientific treatment of the subject - biological matters pertaining to fasting are only briefly summarized. It focuses upon religious and spiritual motivations for fasting; issues of fasting for weight loss or due to starvation and poverty are left to other books. Exploring the ancient spiritual tradition of opening one's eyes through limitation, Fasting discusses the practice as used in Christianity, Islam, during Yom Kippur, Lent, and Ramadan, for the purpose of making political statements or simply for personal discipline and enrichment. A reader-friendly guide that incorporates history, the personal experiences of those who fast, the mind-body spirit connection that can be obtained through fasting, and more.
