Sabbath | The Liturgical Year | Tithing | In Constant Prayer | The Sacred Meal
“Fasting is the body talking what the spirit yearns, what the soul longs for, and what the mind knows to be true.â€Â
― Scot McKnight
Christianity has traditionally been at odds with the human body. At times in the history of the church, Christians have viewed the body and physical desires as the enemy. Now, Scot McKnight, best-selling author of The Jesus Creed , reconnects the spiritual and the physical in the ancient discipline of fasting.
Inside You'll Find:
- In-depth biblical precedents for the practice of fasting;
- How to fast effectively―and safely;
- Different methods of fasting as practiced in the Bible;
- Straight talk on pitfalls, such as cheating and motivation.

Compelling and readable, the Ancient Practices series is for every spiritual sojourner, for every Christian seeker who wants more.
