The Only How-to Fasting Guide for Women
When women think of fasting, many of us think of grumbling stomachs, low energy, and high-stress days. Add to that our full, fast-paced lives, and the act of fasting can quickly become a major inconvenience. But this is not what it should be!
With warmth and experience, Lisa Nelson provides everything you need to know to make fasting a natural, powerful part of your life–even if you have a family to feed, have a work schedule to keep, or have tried unsuccessfully before.
Offering insights and realistic advice specifically for women, she answers vital questions such as:
- How do I fit fasting into a busy schedule?
- How should I prepare physically? Spiritually?
- What should I do–and expect–before, during, and after a fast?
- What cautions should I be aware of?
- What are the best ways to end a fast?
- How can I make the most out of a non-food fast?
When you learn how to fast successfully, you can–and will–experience God in a whole new way.
Complete with tips for all types of fasts–including the Daniel fast! – from the Bethany House Publishers website
Fasting is something that a lot of women haven’t tried. Fasting is HARD. It does have a lot of benefits, though. First and foremost, fasting will bring you closer to God than one who hasn’t tried it would believe.
I have read other books on fasting and it’s nice to have a book aimed towards women. With chapters such as Why Fast?, Should YOU Fast?, Getting ready to Fast, (En)During the Fast and Preventing Fasting Fiascos, The Womens guide to Fasting is full of information to help you succed in this powerful way to get closer to God.
There is more than one way to fast. This book will guide you through hearing the call to fast and choosing a fasting plan. As well as helping you to determine your motivation for fasting. Do you desire to draw closer to God, or are you trying to bargain with God?
There is a section on preparing yourself spiritually for a fast. As well as information on what do do during the fast and how to recover from a long fast. When men fast, they can totally avoid food. When women fast, they still have to cook for their families. My generalization, but it’s true, the majority of women do the family’s cooking. How can one fast successfully, while still feeding her family? The author shares a few tips and what works for her.
A Woman’s Guide to Fasting is a much needed book for Christian women.
