What would you be willing to give up to gain the presence of God in your life again? Many of us sign up for a physical detox program, thinking that if our bodies are healthier, then we're healthier. But a healthy body doesn't do us a lot of good if we are spiritually malnourished. Welcome to The 40-Day Sugar Fast, a fast that begins with us giving Jesus our sugar and ends with Jesus giving us himself - the only thing that can ever truly satisfy our soul's deep hunger.

What if your best life is a sober life? Double-certified sobriety coach Christy Osborne discovered this in her own life and has helped countless clients realize the same. Now, in this highly practical guide, she brings together the psychology of habits and triggers, truth and hope from Scripture, and the science of alcohol’s effect on the body for a forty-day alcohol reset. Experience the gifts of sobriety through enhanced sleep, clearer thinking, better health, deeper connections with others, and a restored sense of well-being.

In the pattern of her popular 40-Day Sugar Fast, Wendy Speake offers you The 40-Day Social Media Fast. This "screen sabbatical" is designed to help you become fully conscious of your dependence on social media so you can purposefully unplug from screens and plug into real life with the help of a very real God. Take a break from everyone and everything you follow online. Disconnect in order to reconnect with the only one who said "follow me."

Do you believe your struggle with anger stems from the wrong behavior you see displayed in your children? The knee-jerk reactions and blowups you're facing are often a result of a bigger set of "triggers". Some of these are external, like a child's disobedience, back talk, or selective hearing, while others are internal, like an overflowing schedule, sleep deprivation, or perhaps your own painful experiences from childhood.

Many of us believe that the Bible is the Word of God, but we never actually read it. Or we've read bits and pieces, one verse or passage at a time, but struggle to apply it to our daily lives. Perhaps it's because we don't really understand what the Scriptures are all about or how to feast on them. That's where Wendy Speake comes in with a fresh twist on her popular forty-day sugar and social media fasts.
