People fast for many reasons...to break an addiction...to seek God for healing...to discover the answer to a lingering problem. But the greatest reason to fast is to know God intimately and to feed on the Bread of Life.
The book in your hands is not an instruction manual on the methods of fasting or on how to pray. Rather, Dr. Elmer Towns describes the spirit of fasting that leads to an intimate knowing of Jesus Christ. He will show you that fasting is:
tasting the goodness of the Lord
waiting in God's presence to become like Him
coming to Jesus to enjoy His presence
drinking from God's presence to get spiritual satisfaction
learning to discipline yourself even as Jesus did
growing spiritually into the image of Jesus
gaining spiritual perception of God's world
entering God's rest as you know His heart
