This topic is quite well-worn. There seems to be nothing more that can be said to enrich this subject. If you think so, you will change your mind when you read The Culture of Fasting, by Luciano Subirá. The author studied the scriptures and consulted experts in the medical field to produce a text rich in content and very practical for the exercise of this spiritual discipline widely mentioned in the scriptures. Upon finishing reading this book, one has the impression that the author has exhausted the subject by analyzing this biblical theme in a rich and profound way.
In addition to examining the essentials: What is fasting? And what does the Bible say about it? He goes further and enriches the analysis by presenting the types of fasting, their duration, their effects, their purposes and the way to fast, not to mention the medical-scientific aspects related to this ancient practice. There is a special chapter in which Luciano Subirá clearly and succinctly answers 40 specific questions on the subject. This book is a biblical and prophetic vision of fasting for the end times that will lead you to a deeper level of intimacy with God.
