Overview
This thought-provoking book discusses one of the least understood, but most powerful, disciplines of Christianity. Most believers know about fasting, but few really understand the wonderful benefits that result from fasting with purpose and direction. Fasting for Spiritual Breakthrough gives the why of fasting, rather than just the how. Elmer Towns avoids a glut of techniques and schedules, instead he provides a probing look at Isaiah 58, often called “the fasting passage.”
