The hand-in-hand spiritual discipline of prayer and fasting is not a gimmick
or a spiritual fad, although its neglect in recent decades makes it a new
discovery for many Christians. Instead, as author Ronnie Floyd explains,
prayer and fasting is a Scripture-ordained act of obedience—a means of
humbling ourselves before God, drawing closer to Him, and making room
for Him to speak and act in our lives.
This newly revised and updated edition of The Power of Prayer and Fasting
offers fascinating firsthand stories of the difference prayer and fasting has
made in Floyd’s life and others, compelling explanations of how this discipline
works in a Christian’s life, practical guidance for those who have never
fasted before, and a stirring call to revival. New material includes a chapter
on fasting together as a church for the needs of one person, family, or the
church itself.
