Prayer and Fasting go hand in hand. Jesus taught the Lord’s Prayer as the model for how to pray and showed us that when we prayed this way, it praises God and covers everything believers need in this life to attain eternal happiness.

Readers will experience deep spiritual results when two of the most powerful resources God has given us for our faith and ministrypraying the Lord’s Prayer and fasting, are combined in intercession to God.

This is one of the best books that is designed to help a person start fasting and prayer, small, so they can grow. Also, I learned a lot about the Lord’s Prayer.
