Fasting for Spiritual Breakthrough is a thought-provoking book on one of the least understood--but most powerful--disciplines of Christianity. Most believers know about fasting, but few of us really understand the wonderful benefits that come when we fast with purpose and direction. Written in Dr. Elmer Towns' dynamic; descriptive style, this book gives the "why" of fasting, rather than just the "how." Towns avoids a glut of techniques and schedules, and instead provides a probing look at Isaiah 58, often called the fasting passage. Learn how fasting can strengthen your faith and draw you closer to God, helping you to be a true overcomer in Christ.

A Godsend!:
At a time when I needed answers to difficult things this book helped direct my prayers and thoughts. Fasting for Spiritual Breakthrough gave me a jumping off point and now the answers ARE coming. I am confident they would not have come had I not followed Mr. Towns' suggestion to fast in the relevent, focused ways he suggests. He has organized his material well. A vital book if you're very serious about getting spiritual answers. I did not need the workbook, finding everything I needed in the manual... more info
I do not recommend this book:
The ideas expressed in this book are troublesome and not supportive of a healthy and positive spirituality. Other, more balanced books are available.
