Hunger is \u003ci\u003epassion\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003eSometimes we need a personal reboot. We need a \"burning bush\" encounter, one close enough to feel the heat. Life has a way of growing cluttered, feeling dull. Modern society is so full of \u003ci\u003estuff\u003c\/i\u003e-busy schedules, buffet lines, gadgets-that we've forgotten the discipline of denial. We don't remember how to hunger, therefore we've forgotten how to be filled. Yet Jesus promised the opposite: \u003ci\u003eif\u003c\/i\u003e we hunger and thirst for righteousness, then we will experience fullness. And nothing rekindles the inner fire like fasting.Drawing inspiration from Psalm 40 and Isaiah 40, \u003ci\u003eConsumed\u003c\/i\u003e is written in simple, encouraging language, composed day-by-day during the author's own forty day fast. Thus, the insights come to you in \"real time\" - exactly what you need for each day, like a friend who knows how to speak to your heart. Each brief, daily devotional helps to focus the soul in a posture of humility and repentance for the ultimate goal of personal renewal. Have you lost direction, focus, vibrancy? The ancient solution is to give yourself to an extended, 40-day fast. Don't worry...you can do it!\u003ci\u003eConsumed\u003c\/i\u003e also features: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNuggets of wisdom from ancient and modern church fathers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical advice for managing your fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple, daily guidance from physicians to maximize and safeguard your health\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpace to journal your reflections each day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedical insights into the benefits of fasting; also specific recommendations for structuring and ending your fast.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eDon't yield another day to the tyranny of excess and overindulgence.
