What does fasting mean? Who have practiced the fast? What is the history of fasting among nations and peoples?
Answers to these pertinent questions and many others will be found authoritatively answered in Fasting—The Second Step to Eternal Life By Alan P. Johnson.
This book is probably the most complete volume available treating all the facets of fasting from ancient to modern times, from Christian and non-Christian sources. The author has done an infinite amount of research on the material, which was written first to fulfil his Master’s degree.
The author enlarges the concept of fasting, indicating that it is much more than mere abstinence from food. It becomes a spiritual “at-one-ment” with Christ, the Savior of mankind, and helps make man worthy of the acceptance of Christ’s supreme sacrifice.
