I was sitting with a group of ladies telling them about this fascinating book I am reading on the topic of fasting. I am not sure they thought fascinating was the right word for a book on this topic, but after reading How to Fast: Rediscover the Ancient Practice for Unlocking Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Renewal by Reward Sibanda, I truly have a greater understanding of the essence of fasting as well as the process. I feel more prepared to build on my past experiences as my husband and I plan to be more regular and intentional in practicing fasting as a part of our continued spiritual formation. Sibanda gives a detailed explanation of what physically occurs day by day during a water fast as he also explains the spiritual benefits. He brings out cultural aspects of the practice of fasting. After reading this book and sharing parts with my husband, we not only sense the Holy Spirit's encouragement, but are genuinely excited about the impact fasting will have.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has any questions about fasting and who wants to receive the greatest possible spiritual and physical benefits. I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of How to Fast from WaterBrook without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
