- Foreword (Dr. William R. Bright)
- Acknowledgments - Introduction: A serious call for a devout return to the discipline of fasting. - 1. The Fasts God Chooses: The biblical base, varieties, benefits and background of the kind of fasting that pleases God. - 2. The Disciple's Fast: Fasting for freedom from addiction (see Matt. 17:20,21). If we fast, we can break the besetting sins that limit a life of freedom in Christ. - 3. The Ezra Fast: Fasting to solve problems (see Ezra 8:21-23). If we fast for a specific purpose, we may solve a debilitating problem. - 4.

The Saint Paul Fast: Fasting for insight and decision making (see Acts 9:9-19). If we fast to subject our will to God's, He will reveal His will to us. - 8. The Daniel Fast: Fasting for health and physical healing (see Dan. 1:12-20). When we fast for physical well-being, God will touch our bodies and enrich our souls. - 9. The John the Baptist Fast: Fasting for an influential testimony (see Matt. 3:4; Luke 1:15). If we fast for the influence of our testimonies, God will use us. - 10.
