Fasting for Financial Breakthrough by Elmer L Towns
Shed a spiritual light on some of the biggest problems facing people today: the need to put the role of money in a proper perspective and to solve financial problems. Elmer Towns states at the outset that this is not the primary purpose of fasting and prayer. Instead, it is all about knowing God. It is not about withdrawing prayer on an as-needed basis from some spiritual ATM kiosk. It is about meditation, studying the Scriptures, and communing with God. When we fast and pray in faith, asking for God's help and provision, He begins to teach us how to become good stewards of what He has provided. Chapter topics include Fasting to Learn Stewardship, Why We Have Money Problems, and A Faith Approach to Fasting for Money. Once we understand why we struggle with money problems, we can do something about it with this practical step-by-step guide.
