Fasting for Christ during the Great Lent season gives us as Christian believers the opportunity to come into closer communion with God. As we give up eating food altogether for long periods of time, we also learn that this sacrifice of love is symbolic of the greater purpose of giving up our sins, habits, and anything that would keep us from being better followers of Christ. This book is a practical Bible study manual that is designed to be either done by the individual privately with the Lord, or as a group Bible study. It teaches those interested in growing in faith how to successfully do a forty-day-long Lenten fast. All of the instructions, rules, and tools needed to learn how to fast for the Lord are provided in this study. There is a daily meditation guide for each of the forty days of the Great Lent fast, as well as a beautiful journey journal. There are recipes and a sample meal plan as well to support those on this journey. Fasting is an ancient spiritual discipline that has been neglected in modern times, yet it holds such great spiritual power for believers to grow in their personal relationship with the risen Lord and celebrate their faith in a whole new way, everyday!
