The Rise Insight proudly honors Dr. Glenville Ashby for his extraordinary literary and spiritual contribution. His remarkable book, “40 Days of Fasting: 40 Inspired Recitations,” has been officially declared a Winner at the TRI Literary Awards 2026 (Season 04) in the Traditional Category.
This deeply profound work emerges from a sacred and rare spiritual convergence—Ramadan and Lent in April 2025—a time that became a powerful period of fasting, reflection, and divine connection. During these forty transformative days, Dr. Ashby experienced a state of stillness and heightened awareness, where a guiding voice—gentle yet profound—began to unfold. Identifying itself as Carlos, this spiritual guide dictated the verses that now form this exceptional collection.
“40 Days of Fasting” is far more than a reflection on physical abstinence; it is a soulful exploration of the human spirit’s longing to reconnect with its divine source. Each poem serves as a meditative passage, touching on themes of love, death, healing, inner purity, divine presence, and the eternal search for truth. The work beautifully intertwines personal revelations with universal spiritual wisdom, making it both intimate and expansive.
What sets this book apart is its seamless integration of diverse spiritual philosophies. Drawing from Christianity, Islam, Eastern mysticism, and metaphysical teachings, Dr. Ashby creates a harmonious spiritual dialogue that transcends boundaries. The poems act as guiding lights, gently leading readers toward self-awareness, inner peace, and higher consciousness.
Rather than offering rigid doctrines, the book invites introspection. It encourages readers to slow down, embrace silence, and ask deeper questions about existence, purpose, and the soul’s eternal journey. Themes such as divine mercy, karmic balance, sacred union, and inner awakening are expressed with poetic elegance and emotional depth.
Winning in the Traditional Category is a testament to the book’s ability to preserve timeless spiritual values while presenting them in a deeply personal and contemporary voice. It stands as both a devotional companion and a mystical guide, resonating with anyone walking the path of faith, doubt, longing, and hope.
The Rise Insight celebrates Dr. Glenville Ashby for this outstanding achievement. His work is not just a book—it is an experience, a journey, and a powerful reminder of the sacred wisdom that emerges when we choose to listen in silence.
