Summary

Religious Fasting explores the widespread spiritual practice of abstaining from food and drink across various faiths. It examines fasting not just as deprivation, but as a deliberate act of devotion and self-reflection. The book reveals that despite diverse forms, religious fasting serves as a universal tool for self-transformation and connection with the divine. Interestingly, fasting can also be seen as a way to promote communal identity and social cohesion, highlighting its impact beyond the individual.

 


 
The book begins by tracing fasting's origins and examining its physiological and psychological effects. From there, it explores fasting rituals in specific religions like Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, detailing unique customs and theological underpinnings. Through this comparative approach, the book avoids prioritizing one religious perspective, instead seeking common threads and significant differences.

 


 
Ultimately, Religious Fasting analyzes shared themes, drawing conclusions about the universal human desire for spiritual growth.

When an earthquake strikes Two Harts Ranch, it shakes the life of Annie Lane along with that of Cord Westbrook, who has been working as a cowboy on Annie's family ranch in anticipation of purchasing his own.

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat the fruit of it" - Proverbs 18:21.
 
"By thy words, thou shalt be justified, and by thy words, thou shalt be condemned." - Matthew 12:37.
 
"Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways." - Job 22:28.
 
In this book, Command the Morning, Day, and Night, we were given biblical counsel on how to take charge of our morning, day, and night to control our environments. Commanding your morning, day or night is to exercise authority or giving command invested upon believers by God, to say what will stand without negotiation, compromise, or prior agreement. The command creates barriers to frustrate everything satanic and wicked people do. Evil decrees or commands from agents of Satan can be reversed, but commands from God and his saints cannot be reversed without God's permission. Believers command can make or unmake things, kill or give life. All creatures were created by God's command, believers are authorized and empowered by God to imitate Him.
 
This book provides you with biblical cutting-edge counsel and powerful declarations that will guide you in commanding your morning, day, and night. A closed mouth is a closed destiny!!
