The Purpose of Fasting

A 23-Page Guided Bible Study Workbook | King James Version (KJV)

What does Scripture truly teach us about fasting?

Throughout the Bible, fasting appears during moments of prayer, repentance, mourning, uncertainty, and spiritual devotion. But what is its deeper purpose? Is fasting simply about abstaining from food, or can it teach us something greater about our relationship with God and others?

The Purpose of Fasting is a thoughtfully designed, 23-page Christian Bible study workbook that invites readers to explore these questions through Scripture, guided explanations, and personal reflection.

Rather than requiring readers to accept a predetermined interpretation, this study encourages careful examination of biblical passages and provides space to record personal observations, questions, agreements, and disagreements.
