True Fasting – Hunger for God

What if physical hunger revealed true hunger, hunger for God?

Through his personal experiences and study of the Word, Matt Monacy leads us on a profound exploration of biblical fasting: not religious deprivation, but an intimate encounter with God.

From Moses to Jesus, from Esther to Daniel, fasting is presented in the Bible as an act of humility, power, and revelation. The author adds his own testimony: a forty-day fast, lived in prayer, bodily weakness, and the strength of the Spirit—an experience in which he literally felt God envelop him in His arms.

But this book does not stop at the spiritual. It also incorporates a scientific and naturopathic approach to fasting: purification of the body, autophagy, mental clarity, physiological benefits, and principles of healthy living.

With the advice of a health professional, the author shows how to prepare for, experience, and break a fast in harmony with the body and soul, so that faith and science come together in the wisdom of the Creator.

True Fasting—Hunger for God is a comprehensive and inspiring guide for anyone who wants to:

• Understand the reasons for and power of biblical fasting;

• Discover the different types of fasting and their spiritual fruits;

• Learn about the discipline of fasting with balance and discernment;
