Fasting

TGC's Brief Guide to Fasting Helps Women Awaken Their Hearts to God's Presence 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.
