I am a huge fan of this authors former book, "The 40-Day Sugar Fast: Where Physical Detox Meets Spiritual Transformation," so I knew this one was going to be good. I was right. Wendy Speake's "The 40-Day Social Media Fast" is much more than just a guide to getting off of social media. It is also a guide a spiritual grouding for anyone who feels like they've lost their way in the digitalized, lonely world. Overusing social media is not just a problem in itself, but also a vicious cycle that drives a deep lack of satisfaction in our daily and spiritual lives.

In this book, Speake guides the reader through a 40-day social media "fast" by explaining what to do step by step, as well as going through various causes (and results) of a social media addiction. Her solutions are really creative and poetic at times, which I loved.

Importantly, though, this is a Christian book perfect for anyone looking for a spiritual journey with Christ. It is heavy on the religious content, which is something to bear in mind. As a Christian myself, I found this guide challenging, fulfilling and definitely inspiring. While I haven't personally gone through the full 40 days off social media yet and can''t tell you the results, I truly think this is a great resource in this particular subject.

*Thank you to the Publisher for a free advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review,

This book was a big more on the religious side than I thought it would be.Even though I am religious, I didn't want to read about it in a book such as this one.

So, I am going to read this book slowly, and right now I'm only reviewing the intro for it, why? Because it is something that I feel is going to be very helpful, and even more impactful in my private life, therefore I am going to follow what Wendy suggests (sometime this year) and I will (hopefully) come back with a helpful review for this (what I expect to be) wonderful and truly helpful book.

This book is about so much more than a social media fast. There are beautiful readings for a 40 day journey of taking a break from social media and instead reconnecting to life, God, family and more. This book is a gift!
