Publisher's summary

Discover the holistic and revelatory experience of fasting in this seminal guide on the practice, science, and ancient context of the biblical tradition—with a foreword by John Mark Comer, New York Times bestselling author of Practicing the Way and The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry.

“At last! An accessible yet inspirational introduction to one of the most powerful, countercultural, and neglected aspects of prayer.”—Pete Greig, founder of 24-7 Prayer and author of How to Pray: A Simple Guide for Normal People

We’ve forgotten how to fast. This loss has cost us not only the potency of our prayers and benefits to our bodies, but has ultimately disconnected us from Jesus Himself. While fasting is often dismissed as just another diet trend, Pastor Reward Sibanda clarifies what true spiritual fasting is—and what it is not. He explains why we should fast and how to biblically fast so we can experience deeper communion with God.

Sibanda draws from his own twenty-one-day fasting experiences, engaging anecdotes, Scripture, and scientific insights to reveal how this prayerful practice

• enriches our faith by realigning our bodies, spirits, and souls

• expands our understanding of what’s possible when we surrender our whole selves to God

• resets our biological rhythms and increases our physical well-being, even to the cellular level

Whether you’re new to fasting or a seasoned practitioner, this book—which includes a daily guide—provides invaluable insights that will renew your relationship with God and yourself. Discover for yourself this life-changing gift!

Critic reviews

“At last! An accessible yet inspirational introduction to one of the most powerful, countercultural, and neglected aspects of prayer. Reward Sibanda is a man who practices what he preaches, through his living (and praying) with a compelling passion for Jesus, alongside a refreshingly relational, down-to-earth love for God’s people.”—Pete Greig, founder of 24-7 Prayer and author of How to Pray: A Simple Guide for Normal People

“This amazing resource will be a helpful guide and trusted companion on your fasting journey. Reward will strengthen your resolve, deepen your conviction, and support your desire to seek the Lord with body, soul, and spirit. He puts language to things I’ve experienced but couldn’t articulate—if only I had access to this gem when I began my fasting journey at age seventeen. I will return to this book again and again.”—Stacie Wood, teaching pastor at Saddleback Church

“I know this book will encourage and fortify you in unexpected ways, drawing you into the intricate ways our body was made to be surrendered to the Holy One through fasting. How to Fast isn’t just a how-to guide; it’s a companion on your journey deeper to the heart of the Father.”—Amanda Bowman, director of church activation at World Vision
