The Power of Biblical Fasting: How to Fast, Pray, Seek God, and Strengthen Your Faith Through Spiritual Discipline

Every serious believer eventually asks the same question: why does Scripture keep pairing an empty stomach with a full spiritual breakthrough? The Power of Biblical Fasting answers with clarity, Scripture, and centuries of tested practice instead of vague spiritual advice.

Author Josiah Everstone walks through twelve chapters covering what biblical fasting actually is, why Christians fast, how Jesus Himself practiced it, the different types of biblical fasts, prayer during a fast, corporate fasting, and what to do once a fast ends. The teaching draws on nearly six hundred years of Christian writing on the subject, from Thomas a Kempis's Imitation of Christ (circa 1420) and John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion (1536 to 1559), through Andrew Murray (1885) and A. W. Tozer (1948), up to modern works including Richard Foster's Celebration of Discipline (1978), John Piper's A Hunger for God (1997), Jentezen Franklin's Fasting (2008), and Timothy Keller's Prayer (2014).

Clergy will find solid material for teaching a congregation the difference between fasting as a health trend and fasting as biblical discipline. Worship leaders will find language to guide corporate fasts with purpose instead of confusion. And any reader who has tried fasting once and quit will find a plain, wise plan for turning hunger into something that draws them closer to God rather than something to survive.

This is fasting explained the way Scripture presents it: not a punishment, not a diet plan, but an invitation. Grab your copy today and start seeking God with the kind of intensity the Bible actually describes.
