The Fasting Prayer

by Franklin Hall

2016 Reprint of 1947 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In 1946, Hall published a brief book entitled "Atomic Power with God through Prayer and Fasting." The book, which provided detailed information on the methods and benefits of fasting, was an immediate success and brought Hall considerable fame. According to Hall, all of the major evangelists began following his fasting regime and miracles erupted everywhere. Many observers of the early revival years agreed, as one said, "Every one of these men down through the years followed Franklin Hall's method of fasting." He followed this up with "The Fasting Prayer" in 1947.

Excellent

I highly recommend this book. I found it to be an answer to prayer. I just finished it in the eve of starting a prolonged fast. I purchased the Kindle version of this book. I generally prefer the Kindle versions. However, I would recommend that you purchase the printed version instead. The author makes several references to illustrations in the book which presumably add clarity to the subject. In the Kindle version the illustrations were left out which was very disappointing to me, so I deducted a star for that reason. I highly recommend this book!

A classic book about fasting, Hall gets some scientific facts pretty wrong (all two million of your cells will be cleansed by fasting), the long and short of it is that fasting will lead to breakthroughs in your spirituality. He highly recommends 40-day fasts and backs that up biblically. While I can't imagine doing that, I know someone who has. I'd like to do a ten-day fast while my wife is on her upcoming mission trip, but I've received advice that that may not be the best time to test all this. Oh, and Hall considers 10-day fasts as something for beginners, just in case you're feeling good about a succeeding on a shorter fast.

I’ll never be the same

Totally a game changer / mind you - I’ve always believed in Fasting … but NOT LIKE THIS…
The Lord in His graciousness has led me to this book (to be soon supported by 2 others) but to overhaul my prayer life as well - for that I’m reading ‘Heaven to Earth’ by Anthony Mangun… …
That is to say that while fasting like ‘this’ & I’ll be praying like ‘that’ …

This book was very simple and strait forward! It was an easy read but not easy to live!

The book is very practical in helping from the beginner to the advanced / mature believer to fast!

It is a power book full of testimonies and breakthroughs of people who fasted and saw the glory of God!

After this book - two of us embarked on a series of fasts of 3 days, 7 days, 10 days and 40 days! It was a life changing experience that left me changed for ever!

Phenomenal book on how prayer and fasting go together. The stories and examples are so wonderful. Great encouragement to do so.
