Overview

The hand-in-hand spiritual discipline of prayer and fasting is not a gimmick or a spiritual fad, although its neglect in recent decades makes it a new discovery for many Christians. Instead, as author Ronnie Floyd explains, prayer and fasting is a Scripture-ordained act of obedience—a means of humbling ourselves before God, drawing closer to Him, and making room for Him to speak and act in our lives.

This newly revised and updated edition of The Power of Prayer and Fasting offers fascinating firsthand stories of the difference prayer and fasting has made in Floyd’s life and others, compelling explanations of how this discipline works in a Christian’s life, practical guidance for those who have never fasted before, and finallly a stirring call to revival.

“Prayer and fasting are not optional. This is not about negotiating with God or trying to work out a ‘win-win’ for the both of you, or acting as if everyone else is responsible. You are responsible. Your church is responsible. I am responsible. My church is responsible. Now is the time to lead on in America and the world God’s way. God’s way is with humility that comes through prayer and fasting.” (source)
