First published in 1968, God's Chosen Fast has long been considered the essential guide to biblical fasting, a vital yet often neglected practice.

It is not merely a how-to manual, but a timeless reference that explains the purpose of fasting, details accounts of fasting in the Bible, and includes a comprehensive biblical index. This new edition features a compelling foreword by Susan Gregory, author of The Daniel Fast. God's Chosen Fast will assist believers who desire to grow closer to God.
