Synopsis

Most believers know about fasting, but few really understand the wonderful benefits that come when we fast with purpose and direction. Fasting for Spiritual Breakthrough gives the why of fasting, rather than just the how. Towns avoids a glut of techniques and schedules; instead he provides a probing look at Isaiah 58, often called "the fasting passage," and introduces nine biblical fasts - each designed for a specific physical and spiritual outcome. Learn how fasting can strengthen your faith and draw you closer to God, helping you to be a true overcomer in Christ.

For myself, I felt I was falling into 2 wrong ways of thinking about fasting: either I was only focused on weight loss or I struggled with spiritual pride. Last January I decided I would fast from fasting. After that, i decided i needed......more
