Opis

What if you fasted regret?What if your friends fasted comparison?What if your generation fasted escapism?What if your community fasted spectatorship?Such heart-fasts could trigger a spiritual revolution Via readings, refection questions, daily fasts, ancient quotes, and more, this is the dream of 40 Days of Decrease: A Different Kind of Hunger. A Different Kind of Fast.Every day offers a meaningful consideration of Jesus' journey and then invites readers into a daily fast of heart-clutter, the stuff that sticks to our souls and weighs us down. You can begin your forty-day journey any time of the year, but you may find it especially meaningful as a Lenten preparation to live in awe of Jesus' resurrection. Each daily, 1000-word entry will include

• a devotional based on Jesus' cross-ward life;
• a reflection question to guide journaling or group discussion;
• a heart fast to inspire a tangible response;
• a thought-provoking Lenten quote;
• an optional sidebar into the historical development of Lent.
• a suggested reading that takes you from John 12 to John 21
• journaling space for reflection

In the same way self cannot satisfy self no matter how long it feasts, self cannot starve self no matter how long it fasts. Decrease--like increase--is only holy when its destination is love. We thin our lives to thicken our communion with God.Dare to live awed by Christ's resurrection Intuitive, prophetic, and profoundly inspiring, calling forth a revolution of soul health, stirring our passion to know Jesus more."--DARLENE ZSCHECH, Composer, Worship Leader, Pastor, and Speaker"God has sounded a clear chor d of revelation through Alicia Chole. God uses her to lovingly guide the reader into recognizing His presence, purpose, and power in times of necessary loss."--DR. CLAUDE R. ALEXANDER, JR., Lead Pastor of The Park Baptist Church, Charlotte, NC
