Many Catholics view fasting as hard, burdensome, weird, or only for Lent. This little book demonstrates that fasting can be so much more than that! It’s an opportunity for prayer, reflection, and solidarity with the suffering of the world.
The Handy Little Guide to Fasting is your easy-to-read, down-to-earth introduction to this ancient practice. Author, speaker, and award-winning journalist Deacon Greg Kandra presents a way to blend faith and fortitude to make fasting more spiritually fulfilling. You’ll learn:
- Some practical pointers when fasting
- The difference between fasting and abstinence
- What the Church teaches about fasting
- The various options for fasting (hint: It’s not just about food!)
Each brief chapter concludes with reflection questions and a prayer for your fasting journey.
Part of the Handy Little Guide series.
