The Bible teaches fasting as an expression of faith in God's word and will. When Jesus taught His disciples to pray the Lord's Prayer, He immediately concluded, ''Now when you fast . . .'' (Matthew 6:16). Fasting with the Lord's Prayer will invigorate your faith because it offers hope to those who worship through prayer and fasting, for when we worship God, he comes to receive our worship.

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.

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.
