Book Synopsis The Spirituality of Fasting by : Charles Murphy
Book excerpt: This treasury of spiritual wisdom draws on sources ancient and current-from Augustine to Michael Pollan-to consider anew how fasting informs the relationships between creator/creature, body/soul, and rich/poor.In a timely response to Pope Benedict's urging that the value and meaning of fasting need to be "rediscovered and encouraged again in our day," The Spirituality of Fasting is excellent for small groups, parish retreats, homily preparation, and recommended Lenten reading lists.
