What the Bible Says About Fasting: 100 Scriptures on Prayer, Repentance, and Drawing Near to God — A Balanced Biblical Guide with Reflections, Study ... Modern Science Reveals Fasting (KJV)

Jesus did not say "if ye fast." He said "when." Fasting is one of the oldest practices of God's people, and one of the most quietly forgotten. Meanwhile the world has rediscovered it as a health trend, stripped of the God who gives it meaning. What the Bible Says About Fasting gathers 100 of Scripture's clearest verses on fasting and lets the Bible itself teach you what it is really for. Organized into ten balanced themes - what fasting really is, fasting and prayer, fasting and repentance, the heart of fasting, the fast God has chosen, fasting for guidance and deliverance, Jesus and fasting, and a lifestyle of holy hunger - each verse (King James Version) is paired with an honest, teaching reflection and a "Consider" question with space to respond. Plus a bonus section: "What Modern Science Reveals About Fasting" - an honest, well-sourced look at what current research does (and does not) show about metabolic switching, autophagy, heart and blood-sugar health, and the mind, with a clear word of caution about who should not fast. Inside you'll find: - 100 KJV verses in ten themed sections- An honest reflection on every single verse- A "Consider" study prompt and room to write- A bonus section on the modern science of fasting- A study companion for individuals and small groups Not a diet book. Not a guilt trip. Just Scripture, in full - and space to seek God, who is Himself the Bread of Life. Part of the "What the Bible Says About..." series from Saul to Paul Books.
