21 Days of Prayer and Fasting: A Guided Christian Fasting Journal - Paperback

Prepare well. Fast with purpose. Finish strong.

Maybe your church has called a fast for the new year. Maybe you're facing a decision you can't make on your own, or you sense that your walk with God has grown thin. 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting walks with you through every stage of the fast, not just the middle of it.

You'll spend a week preparing: choosing a fast you can actually keep, planning for your health, clearing your calendar and gathering what you want to pray about. Then come twenty-one guided days in three movements: Return, Seek and Listen. When the fast ends, the journal helps you break it gently, look back on what God did, and keep going for thirty more days.

Key benefits

• A clear, Scripture-rooted path through a 21-day fast, from the week before to the month after
• Honest guidance on choosing a fast that fits your health and your life

• A plan to finish well, so the fast becomes a beginning instead of a spiritual high that fades
