    About this ebook

    Fasting has long been connected with worship and penitence, many religious orders and tribal cultures use fasting. This book explores the reason for fasting and the special connection it has for the participants. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
