Many Christians are frustrated with their spiritual lives. They want to experience more answered prayers, and they want to feel that God is using their lives for a greater purpose. So how can we break out of that spiritual rut? How can we go deeper? God gives us a way through prayer and fasting!
I attend the author’s church, and I was a little nervous at first when the pastor announced he was writing a book. He is a gifted orator, but I feel that sometimes pastors feel pressured into their “next step” being to write a book. And if that was what was happening here, I was hoping that this book wasn’t just going to be a forced piece of merch for speaking engagements, etc.
I’m very happy to say—that was NOT what was happening with this book.
This book has substance, and I was genuinely impressed with the wordcraft of JC (great speakers are not always great writers but turns out that he’s both!). The format of the book reminded me a lot of Circle Maker by Mark Batterson, and I do think the book takes inspiration from it. However, this book was full of new concepts and is well-marked by my highlighter. I was especially appreciative of the prayers at the end of each chapter.
JC makes fasting an accessible concept and doesn’t linger unnecessarily—every point is purposeful and true. I’m very glad I read the book, and I am truly planning to reread multiple times in future years.
Fantastic book sharing the real life benefits of prayer and fasting
JC Worley’s first published book is life changing! I highly encourage you, your family and church to read Deeper 21. JC’s book inspired change in my life and impacted me in a truly significant way.
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It has helped me in my prayer and fasting life. I sincerely thank you for sharing the stories and the testimonies. Great read!
