The Spirituality Of Fasting

The Spirituality Of Fasting by Charles M. Murphy was published by Ave Maria Press in January 2010 and is our 19830th best seller. The ISBN for The Spirituality Of Fasting is 9781594712432.

'The Spirituality of Fasting' is your source of spiritual inspiration and wisdom. It uses ancient and modern literature (from Augustine to Michael Pollan) to freshly evaluate the way that fasting can influence and enhance the bonds between creator/ creature, body/ soul, and rich/ poor.

Charles Murphy's 'The Spirituality of Fasting' is a timely release that addresses Pope Benedict's plea for fasting to be 'rediscovered and encouraged again in our day.' The book is a fantastic resource to small groups, parish retreats, and homily preparation.

"For those of us seriously seeking to renew our spiritual lives, Msgr. Murphy's comprehensive book gives a deeply helpful understanding of the indispensable rediscovery of fasting as a pillar of our faith and an integral part of our lifelong quest for the Lord Jesus."
-Msgr. Peter J. Vaghi, Author of The Faith We Profess
