The Fasting Practice

About The Fasting Practice

Learn how the powerful yet neglected spiritual discipline of fasting can awaken your entire being to a deep hunger for God, in this guide from New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer and the team at Practicing the Way.

In our culture of constant consumption, the biblical practice of fasting is both countercultural and transformative. This Companion Guide to the Fasting Practice from Practicing the Way offers spiritual exercises, reflection questions, and guided readings. Designed to be used with four engaging video sessions freely available online, this guide offers spiritual exercises, reflection questions, and additional resources to help you and your community.

This guide will help you:

• Understand the invitation to fast as a rhythm or a response
• Offer your whole self to God in surrender
• Grow in holiness by integrating mind and body
• Amplify both your prayers to God and God’s voice to you
• Stand in solidarity with the poor and against injustice
