Book Review: The 40 Day Soul Fast

This is a Study Book.
Its a 8 Week Journey, to remove toxins in our soul, to heal. 
 Its not just something you read; but its meant to involve you.  Your interaction is part of the process.  Part of the Soul Fast discipline is not allowing everyday distractions to deter you from cultivating the inner life of your soul.  

Authenticity is the degree to which one is true to ones own personality, spirit, or character despite (external) pressures.  
In this book you are encouraged to keep a Journal- about what is keeping you from fully embracing each characteristic or living it out more fully in your daily life.  Then with Holy Spirit's help you can begin to get rid of those little foxes and extra weights that you might not have been aware of before. 

A Few Points to remember:

• Until you make the unconscious, conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate-  Carl Jung
• Give yourself adequate time and space to focus on nurturing your inner self.  
• Calm/Quiet yourself
• Press into the Presence of God- stay connected to that crucial lifeline.  

What is the atmosphere around you?  It impacts you.  What kinds of thoughts are you thinking?  Are you sabotaging your success the thoughts you think? 
Many of these things some of us already know.  But are we taking the time to do it? For some this will be new ideas for others a renewal or going deeper. There is scripture as part of the process, which I liked.   
I really like to listen to Cindy Trimm, on TV or the internet but I am finding reading her book just a bit drier, a little more difficult to get into.  I have picked up this book several times before and neer got to far.  But then again, maybe I just haven't been ready for it.  There is a time for these things, you know.  I did find that she did have some good questions for the person to ask themselves about Who they are? What do you Like?  Where will what you are doing take you?  Those kind of inner questions. 
My final answer is the same that I said before- 
Its good as a study book but I think I prefer listening to her as a speaker instead.
 Just something feels like its missing when it comes to reading the book. 
Maybe because its about work I have to do? *Smiling*
