Today is T-minus forty days till my book, In a Pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day releases on October 1, 2006. I feel like the release of the book marks a new chapter and a new ministry in a sense. Whenever I’m facing a new challenge or a new season I follow the example Jesus set with forty days of prayer and fasting.

I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m less spiritual than Jesus I’m not going to fast food for forty days. I am fasting a variety of things and adding some new twists on some old spiritual disciplines.
