Fasting for Spiritual Breakthrough

A Guide to Nine Biblical Fasts

De: Elmer Towns

Narrado por: Michael Kramer

A thought-provoking work 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 title 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." Learn how fasting can strengthen your faith and draw you closer to God, helping you to be a true overcomer in Christ.

Knowledge of fasting

I enjoyed the history of fasting. Exploring the many varieties of fasting was a highlight as I only knew of a couple before today. Couldn't put it down.

A Step by Step Guide to Different Fast

Awesome book, very well taught, Scriptural References for each of the Nine Fast. Different kind of Fast for different circumstances or problems we may face.

A must read/listen

I had several breakthroughs just listening to the book! About career, life, health and family, prayer and praise.

Chapter misalignment

The chapters were misaligned from the audiobook compared to the printed book. This was unfortunate and hindered the ability to navigate to different chapters and sections of the book. Ideally this basic detail will be fixed.

Review of Fasting for Spiritual Breakthroughs!

Awesome book. Filled with common sense application of biblical principles I did not even think about. Thanks Dr Towns for your insight.

Organized and systematic study of Christian fasting

An excellent organized and systematic study of the Biblical principles of Christian fasting. Very very good!

Power resource, moves to intentional discipline!

Def read for those wanting to learn more on types of fasts, their origins and their parameters. I didn't agree with the few mentions in the book on the Daniel fast that sickness in the body may have affected vital organs so much so that fasting and prayer for healing may not work. Instead, I follow that it is always the will of God for people to be free from entanglements and bondage, regardless of the degree of them. The book even outlines a fast for those who aren't Christ followers, making it a book relevant for all people who desire God. The ending about the Ester fast to spiritually protect our pastors is eye opening! I have to read again and take notes this time because of the wealth of factual information, but I think there is a workbook out there that would be good for the note taker.

I learned something new.

I will be re-listening many more times. I didn’t know so many different fasts.

Love this book

I didn’t find any issue with the narrator as others mentioned. This book has great potential for spiritual growth in my opinion
