Fasting

Keeping up with our do-it-all culture is not only exhausting, it can also hinder us from seeking the Lord. How can we grow in devotion to God in a world of endless distractions? TGC’s Disciplines of Devotion series helps women cultivate a life of devotion to the Lord by building simple, biblical practices into their days.

Each volume highlights one spiritual discipline—exploring its meaning, biblical examples, and benefits—and offers accessible ways to cultivate the practice faithfully. In this volume, Cassie Achermann invites women to stir their affections for God by fasting. She considers what biblical fasting is; ways to fast prayerfully, both alone and in community; and how fasting increases our dependence on God. Brief, biblically rich, and highly practical, Disciplines of Devotion booklets are ideal for individual or small-group study.
