Why is fasting so important for Orthodox Christians? What benefits does abstinence bring to the soul? How does fasting differ from dieting? Does fasting involve more than just food restriction? The reader will find answers to these and many other questions in this book.

The Church Fathers, priests, and Orthodox doctors vividly and thoroughly explain the essence of fasting, its purpose, and help to understand a number of difficulties and perplexities that arise among those fasting: what are the special aspects of fasting for children? Is it permissible to serve non-fat foods to guests during Lent? Why is it so difficult to avoid offense and arguments during Lent?
