Description
When You Fast: The Why and How of Christian Self-Discipline
This companion volume to When You Pray explores the underpinnings of the Church's practice of fasting and ascetic discipline. L. Joseph Letendre delves beyond the basics of food regulations, instead helping readers understand the purpose of fasting and how to enter into it more willingly and fully.
Through chapters on denying yourself, cultivating silence, and exorcising your mind, Letendre offers practical guidance for those seeking to deepen their spiritual practice through self-discipline. With a background in psychology, philosophy, education, and theology, Letendre provides a nuanced understanding of the role of fasting in Christian life.
