Lenten Book Reads

I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to take a quick moment to share with you my enthusiasm for "Eat Fast Feast" by Jay Richardson, especially as we're amidst the Lenten season. It is a book that I find I keep coming back to most Lents.

"Eat Fast Feast" has captivated me for its unique perspective on fasting and feasting, particularly resonating with the Lenten traditions. Richardson beautifully articulates the spiritual significance behind the act of fasting and how it can be transformative, not only physically but also emotionally and spiritually.

What truly sets this book apart is its practical approach. Richardson doesn't just delve into the theory; he provides actionable steps and insights to integrate fasting into our modern lives. His guidance on how to fast with intentionality and mindfulness has been incredibly enlightening for me, especially during this Lenten journey.

Moreover, "Eat Fast Feast" doesn't solely focus on the deprivation aspect of fasting. It celebrates the joy of feasting, emphasizing the importance of balance and gratitude in our relationship with food and God. This balanced approach aligns perfectly with the spirit of Lent, reminding us to appreciate the abundance around us while also practicing self-discipline and reflection.

Let me know which book do you keep coming back to most? For me, "Eat, Fast, Feast" may very well become that cherished companion, guiding me through Lent and beyond, offering fresh insights and renewed inspiration with each reading.

Wishing you a blessed and transformative Lenten season,
