Lay Primer for Fasting,

This review is from: The Transforming Power of Fasting and Prayer: Personal Accounts of Spiritual Renewal (Paperback)
Spiritual fasting, from a Christian perspective, is among the more misunderstood aspects of a holy lifestyle. "The Transforming Power of Fasting and Prayer" by Bill Bright is a book for layman looking to learn what fasting is and isn't, and what it means to their lives.The late Bright is famous for many things, but his forty-day fasts are an especially important thing to know about. He dedicated the last years of his life promoting and educating Christians about this spiritual discpline. His experience, along with his expertise in Christian outreach and discipleship, augments the research behind this book. Though written from an evangelical Christian point of view, Catholics and other liturgical faiths might find this book helpful during the Lenten season. Discussed here are the reasons to pray, and what part fasting has in prayer, the Great Commission, and revival. Bright addresses corporate fasting as well as individual fasting. How should a church initiate a fast? He also mentions other resources through each chapter for further reading. One chapter of interest to me is on the physical aspects of fasting. The difference between a juice fast and water-only fast are looked at, emphasizing the medical necessities. He points out that not all juices are the same, and encourages avoiding the heavily sugared (corn syrup, etc.) juices, and to temper acidic juices like orange juice with 50% water. This is a wise and practical first look into fasting. It isn't a small group study, but can be a tool within a small group as members learn to pray. I fully recommend "The Transforming Power of Fasting and Prayer" by Bill Bright. For a continued look at fasting with a more contemplative approach, see Richard J. Foster's books "Prayer" or "Celebration of Discipline." Anthony Trendl editor, HungarianBookstore.com
