It's called Fast Living by Scott C. Todd. (not living in a hurry, but "fast" as in spiritual practice). Isaiah 58 says that one reason we fast is not just to get closer to God, but to share our food with the hungry. We're not just trying to gut it out by resisting temptation, but we are going without so that others may live. If we fast and pray, and follow what Isaiah 58 says, we can change the plight of those who suffer in extreme poverty. Here's a link to the Facebook page for the book: https://www.facebook.com/live58 Fasting doesn't just change us, it has potential to change the world!kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110763504743646077noreply@blogger.com
