Fasting, like prayer, is an integral part of the Word of God. To dispute this would be as foolish as denying that water is wet. In “Glorified Fasting,” Franklin Hall passionately explores the significance of fasting for Christians. He invites us to “STAND FAST” on this irrevocable tradition, which we have been taught in the Word. By doing so, we honor Jesus and allow His glory to shine forth. This volume seeks to popularize one of the most downtrodden Biblical subjects—the practice of fasting. Hall’s mission is to reestablish fasting’s rightful place in the Gospel, revealing its glorious aspects. As we delve into this tremendous portion of the Word, we discover an avenue to immense power and glory with Jesus. Fasting, praying, crying, and mourning for souls become our tools, wielded without selfish motives. By uniting as pillars of faith, we prepare for the last-day signs that approach us—tragedy, destruction, persecution—armed with an effective weapon for the glory of Jesus. However, Hall is clear: Fasting is not a cure-all for spiritual, moral, or bodily complaints. Instead, he emphasizes its importance to prevent God’s people from drifting away from the old-time faith and succumbing to modernism.

In this transformative work, Franklin Hall explores the ancient practice of fasting as a powerful spiritual discipline. First published in 1946, “The Fasting Prayer” has inspired countless individuals to embark on fasting journeys for physical, mental, and spiritual renewal. Hall explores the profound effects of fasting on the body, mind, and soul. He shares personal experiences and biblical insights, emphasizing the connection between fasting and prayer. Through fasting, he argues, we can tap into divine wisdom, receive healing, and draw closer to God. “The Fasting Prayer” provides practical guidance on how to fast effectively, including different types of fasts, duration, and purpose. Whether you’re seeking breakthroughs in your life, seeking clarity, or simply desiring a deeper spiritual connection, this book offers timeless principles that can transform your relationship with God. Join Franklin Hall on a journey of self-discovery, faith, and renewal through the ancient practice of fasting. Discover the power of prayer combined with fasting—a pathway to spiritual breakthroughs and a closer walk with God.

Treatise on religious fasting, with many graphic illustrations and diagrams and 100 reasons why we should fast.

Fasting Your Way to Glory talks about the why and how of biblical fasting, the right and wrong ways of fasting, and the many physical and spiritual benefits you derive from making fasting a lifestyle. The author shares her personal experiences on how fasting influenced her life from teenager to adulthood. She says, “Eating constantly for a whole week or month exposes you to the danger of contracting one disease or another. The stomach does not have time to rest and clean up or renew itself. The cells are not renewed, so they continue to wear out. It may be challenging to change your eating habits all of a sudden, but once you succeed through progressive fasting, you will live longer, happier, and healthier.”

There is an appetite for God. And it can be awakened. I invite you to turn from the dulling effects of food and the dangers of idolatry, and to say with some simple fast: "This much, O God, I want you." Our appetites dictate the direction of our lives - whether it be the cravings of our stomachs, the passionate desire for possessions or power, or the longings of our spirits for God. But for the Christian, the hunger for anything besides God can be an arch-enemy. While our hunger for God - and Him alone - is the only thing that will bring victory. Do you have that hunger for Him? As John Piper puts it: "If we don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because we have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Our soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great." If we are full of what the world offers, then perhaps a fast might express, or even increase, our soul's appetite for God. Between the dangers of self-denial and self-indulgence is this path of pleasant pain called fasting. It is the path John Piper invites you to travel in this book. For when God is the supreme hunger of your heart, He will be supreme in everything. And when you are most satisfied in Him, He will be most glorified in you.
