About the Book
About the Book
What is the “fasting” Christians or disciples of Christ ought to engage in? What drove men and women in biblical times to fast? What is the purpose for it? And when should a person resort to prayer and fasting?
Unfortunately, there is a general misunderstanding and lack of knowledge in Christianity today about biblical fasting. From the Jewish origins, this book explores the understanding of fasting held by the patriarchs and gives us guidance in restoring scripturally sound practice of fasting in our lives and in today’s churches.
If we desire to have the faith of the men and women of the Bible, and accomplish the great things they did, then we ought to pay close attention to what is written in scriptures. Fasting together with prayer is difficult. It is something we learn to do and not compromise on. It is not a command of God, but rather a privilege that God extends to us in our time of need.
This book takes you down a path in understanding true fasting and the implications it has for the practice of your faith in God. It will open your eyes and guide you away from fasting in vain and frivolously. It will guide you in your fast, so your heart may come to cherish the words of Daniel, “We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy”.
“You cannot fast as you do today and expect your voice to be heard on high”.
“Brethren, it is not said of the men of Nineveh, 'And God saw their sackcloth and their fasting', but 'God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way'”
“A man who fasts to get rid of his sins, and goes again and does the same thing, who will listen to his prayer, and what profit is there in his humbling himself?”
