Fasting Study

Fasting is not a popular subject among Christians. But fasting is a regular practice by many other religions, and even some Christian groups fast during certain times in the year.

I have long recognized my need to fast for both the spiritual and the physical benefits. Before fasting on a regular and extensive basis, I wanted to know all the that the Bible had to say about it, plus to gain the wisdom from those more experienced at fasting. So, I started a Fasting Study, based on all the passages about or pertaining to fasting that I could find. I added comments, summarized the comments, and added links to teaching series on fasting. In this form, I have made the study into a document that others can use as a starter or seed for their own study. Anyone may have a copy.

I discussed this in more depth on IktusNETwork at http://www.iktusnetwork.com/forum/topics/2072894:Topic:5814. If you want a copy just send an email to the address listed there.
