Customer Reviews & Comments
This book is extremely encouraging for those who have tried and failed to make fasting a regular spiritual practice. I had been trying for about two years without coming to a consistant practice or approach. Aldalbert, in the spirit of a spiritual director, gives an account of his experiment to follow the Rule of St. Benendict of one meal a day (this practice as he explains has been abandoned by modern monastics). His method is gradual, gentle and full of practical wisdom. He supports the practice of fasting through a historical survey, biblical examples and his own thoughtful experience. Also he gives a useful explanation of the decline of the practice of fasting in Christianity. The final significance of this book is that it accomplishes its goal, to present what it means "to love fasting" and thus uncover the wisdom of St. Benedict.
