Product description
What if you fasted regret? What if your friends fasted comparison? What if your generation fasted escapism? What if your community fasted spectatorship? Trigger a spiritual revolution with this daily devotional for Lent.
Decrease life's unnecessary details and increase your relationship with the Lord so you can live in awe of Christ's resurrection! 40 Days of Decrease is a guide for those hungering for a fresh Lenten/Easter experience. Dr. Alicia Britt Chole guides you through a study of Jesus’ uncommon and uncomfortable call to abandon the world’s illusions, embrace His kingdom’s realities, and journey cross-ward and beyond.
Containing readings, refection questions, daily fasts, ancient quotes, and more, each day offers a meaningful consideration of Jesus’ journey and then invites you into a daily fast of heart-clutter—the stuff that sticks to your soul and weighs you down. You can begin your forty-day journey any time of the year, but you may find it especially meaningful as a Lenten preparation to live in awe of Jesus’ resurrection.
Each daily, 1000-word entry includes a:
·Devotion based on Jesus’ life
·Reflection question to guide journaling or group discussion
·Heart fast to inspire a tangible response
·Thought-provoking Lenten quote
·Optional sidebar into the historical development of Lent
·Suggested reading that takes you from John 12 to John 21
·Journaling space for reflection
In the same way self cannot satisfy self no matter how long it feasts, self cannot starve self no matter how long it fasts. Decrease—like increase—is only holy when its destination is love. Dare to live awed by Christ’s resurrection!

Every Christian needs to read this book this lent season. Now, if you’re like me and you grew up Catholic, you probably have a sense of what lent is, but you probably only remember it by your parents demanding that you give up chocolate or saying mean things to your siblings.  As you grew up, you might have adopted a similar sort of fast where you gave up chocolates or carbs or, social media. And I will say that that’s not actual biblical fasting, but that’s another story. Lent is the 40 days leading up to Easter Sunday, and it represents symbolically, the sojourn journey of Jesus in the wilderness, where he prayed and fasted before he started public ministry. In a way, it’s guiding us and leading us towards the Cross on Good Friday and to the empty tomb on Easter Sunday. And as believers, I think it’s incredibly important. You don’t have to just be a Catholic to pray and reflect, repent, fast, and prepare to celebrate the best good news of the gospel on Easter Sunday. I can’t recommend this book enough because it helped reframe what fasting meant. What the Lenten season meant, and this book by Dr. Alicia Britt Chole changed the game. I’m now reading it for the fifth year in a row. I can’t recommend it enough. 40 Days of Decrease by Alicia Britt Chole 🔗 Recommended Reads — #christian #jesus #prayer #christiantiktok #christianbook
